Neymar will be the world’s best, says Brazilian Ronaldo
Sao Paulo: Brazil football great Ronaldo said that the country’s national team lacked talent, but “it is just a matter of time” before Barcelona star Neymar becomes the “world’s best player”.
“Cristiano Ronaldo and (Lionel) Messi are the best right now, but Neymar has come a long way. The move to Europe has done him good,” Ronaldo said in an interview published Sunday by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Brazil “is going through a hard time in every way”, especially “in administrative and talent terms”, Ronaldo said.
“We do not have many great players. We are living with hope in Neymar, who is excellent, the country’s best, but at other times we had many others who we could rely on to play for the Brazilian team,” added the former Real Madrid star.
The striker regarded as one of the best in the world said that Ronaldinho Gaucho, Kaka, Adriano and Robinho were not able to lead the team and Neymar’s generation will now have to get the job done.
According to him, Brazil’s national team has entered a new era and won six straight matches under coach Dunga, but Brazilians are still feeling the “pain” from the squad’s awful performance at this year’s World Cup, where Germany blasted the home team 7-1 in the semifinals.
“We want to put that out of our memories,” said the 38-year-old, who was the star of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup championship team.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
