Neymar: the man of the hour


The 17 year old kid of Santos F.C is playing like never before. He turns 18 this week, and will have lots to celebrate. He is the lead scorer in the Paulista Tournament with 6 goals, mostly beautiful goals. And if not scoring a goal in a match he is providing the other players with incredible passes to score. Neymar is fast, skillfull, calm, almost a complete player. He only lack some physical strength but that he will soon develop. He is truly a nightmare for the defense. There is no doubt that various European teams have an eye on the rising star, and sadly for the Santos fans he is most likely to in a couple of years go play in some grand european squad. Coming soon is also Robinho a former Santos player which hoper to improve his football here so that he can go to the world cup. But the question is if Neymar will steal Robinho's attention with all of his incredible performances. We'll see both of them playing probably this Sunday against Sao Paulo a classic in match. I belive that in a couple of years Neymar and Ganso, another amazing Santos player, will be together in the national team. These towo friends are bound to great things in the football world.

  1. I can't imagine what it's like being a professional athlete at the age of 17. Crazy.
