Crazy ronaldinho and R9 the Rolando both played against a young neymar and even tho past there prime especially Ronald.. they both scored the goals to beat a young neymar Santos.. Ronald was about 30kg overweight with a destroyed knee but was still banging in goals.. Ronaldo at psv and Barcelona was the best striker IV ever seen.. and his first season at inter Milan he was different class.. but after that knee injury he was never the same.. but was still one of the best strikers in the world.. 2002 winning the world cup.. and at Madrid over weight bad knee.. he was still banging in goals.. scoring hatrick against man unt .. if Ronaldo never got his knee destroyed he would have been the best player in history.. in his prime he was unstoppable.. and even past his prime fat was still scoring goals❤ what a talent

[@milk__teee]

The only things to wreck Neymar’s career was: 1. playing in the prime years of Messi and Ronaldo 2. Leaving Barcelona 3. Getting injured so often I think it’s so weird that Neymar has actually been at PSG longer than he was at Barca (2013-2017 Vs. 2017-2023) like everything good about Neymar and how happy he was, happened during those 3.5 years he was at Barcelona. I think he should’ve stayed at Barcelona way longer- not only did he not get injured as hard in La Liga, but he clearly would’ve taken a way bigger role than Messi by now. I mean I’ll always respect Neymar and see him as one of the best to ever do it, but that decision probably costed his career- I feel like he could kinda do what ever kind of dribbling he wanted in La Liga, but no one wanted him to have that Brazilian flair in France- aka they basically wanted to snap his right ankle as often as possible. Neymar only stayed at Barca for 4 seasons but I still see him as a legend of the club.

I used to study at the Santa Cecilia school, which was owned by the former president of Santos F.C. - Milton Teixeira Jr, the Jr part is important because his family has a legacy in front of Santos F.C., his father, Milton Teixeira, was the president in times of Pelé playing for the team, particularly the time that Pelé got transferred to Cosmos NY. We had a particularly tough game in the final against Liceu. Neymar was outstanding. Since our school was owned by the president of Santos, 80% of our team was from the club youth team, due to the scholarship that the president offered to these (great) futsal youth players. Even this great team wasn't enough to beat him. I was benched this final and watched a legend be born. It's funny to see that kid becoming worldly famous. Now I have a great story to tell to many people around the world about the days I used to play against him in my hometown. Great video, great analysis, and great channel! Congratulations on your research, very deep and concise!

But it'd be fair to say that since crossing the Atlantic, he's yet to scale the heights expected of him

[@TieRo69]

He didn't need to cross the Atlantic. I would say he just proved how good he already was and the potential to be better since his earlies in Brazil.

Such a gifted footballer. So much love for O'Ney despite that PSG move in 2017 which certainly hampered his career

[@juandiosdadomichaeyang8956]

People will never forget how good Neymar when he was young for me he was the best young player I ever seen in Santos he made me love football even more

[@Keamogetswe_1]

Neymar was one of hyped wonder stars had performances too back it up.Just crazy puskas award even nominated for ballondor while playing for santos.

[@5thdawg917]

Such a shame. If Ronaldo & Messi did not exist, players like Neymar, Hazard, Bale, Ribbery, Robben, Sanchez & many more all would've been competing for the balon dor.

[@sagarranjan4585]

Only Ribery from your list maybe. Others play attractive football but definitely not ballon do'r level. Iniesta, Xavi, Griezman, Suarez would have more chances. Maybe even Rooney. But Sanchez and Bale, please no😅

[@Lucas-dg4zn]

Great video! Can you please do one on Rogerio Ceni? You mentioned him and was a monster of the Brazillian league, the first player to be nominated to a Baloon d’or while playing in South America (in 2005, when he got 11th place), someone who stayed as a one club player stuck in Brazil even after being considered the top 5-4 goalkeeper in the world multiple times. He holds many records, like the GK who defended the most penalties in history (51), who scored the most goals (131!), the player who played the most games for a single club in history (1237). The man was elected the best goalkeeper in the Brazilian league in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, year in which he also was elected the best player in the league. Let’s also not tall about the fact that he played until he was 42, from 1990 up until 2015. Oh yeah, one other thing. You know how Juninho Pernambucano is the all time free-kick top scorer in the world with 77 free kicks? Well, Rogerio Ceni has 59 (61 including friendlies). Anyways, I find it really interesting how he’s just completely unknown and not talked about in the world scene, even if he’s such a legend in the country, as he only played in Brazil (he also took part in the 2002 world cup, but he was mostly benched because of disagreements with the coach, even if for many it was clear he was the one who should be the national team’s goalkeeper).

[@pedromarco6528]

I switched teams because of him! 2010-2013 Santos was just one of the best teams ever in brazillian football. Thanks for making my childhood better, Ney de moicano... SANTOS 🐋

[@san24k]

i agree with most things but you're wrong, Riquelme was nominated(13th) for the Ballon d'Or in 2007 after winning the Copa Libertadores, Golden boot and MVP at the same tournament scoring 4 goals in the final and also took Argentina to Copa America final which they ultimately lost to Brazil. All this while playing for Boca Juniors, the biggest club in Argentina

[@joaoqgrossi]

He probably meant that Neymar was top 10 Ballon D'or Player.

[@LONDONBOY10]

Bro your work and respect for Brazilian football history are awesome, you are built differently in terms of knowing about football, our NT maybe not that strong and dominant as in past, for the other hand people tend to follow waves and shit to clowning Brazilian players forgetting their impact in their clubs and football in general, like as if the last champions league was not Rodrygo and Vini JR feeding Benzema and even destroying any team in Europe, like Neymar had no stats, the player with more goals for the hardest NT in history equal to Pelé, his stats in south america Santos, Barça 17, first PSG season, his stunning confederation cup that he destroyed every nation in front of him in 2013, his savage World Cup 2018, leading assistance and dribbles + player with more fouls suffered in the whole tournament, all that with Brazil leaving way sooner in the tournament, just people who really know about football and are familiarized with the sport see the things in the right way, congrats fam

Neymar in santos was unreal.. In 2011 when internet and social media were not common yet, his name was spreading around the globe.. The hyped was almost as big as young R9.. Every kids wanted to be like neymar, every kids wanted to play like him, got mohawk haircut like him... Every skilled footballers were called junior in their last name to represent neymar... Hes already completed when hes came out same as R9.. Even messi and cr7 were not as hyped as him cause messi and cr7 were late bloomers... But footballer like Neymar will never come again... No matter how haters completely mocked or downgraded him.. Hes still the best wonderkid of all times and the third best footballer in Messi cr7 era... Theres no next neymar whatsoever .. Vini,Mbappe,haaland,saka,musiala or any of others will never reached even half of Neymar in santos....❤

still remember the day it was announced Neymar leaving Barca and joining PSG for a record transfer amount .Knew atm the decision would backfire.At sometime i even considered him to be more talented than Messi. Life happens i guess.

[@prazman]

What nonsense. Both Pele and Ronaldo(R9) have a bigger claim to being football’s greatest wonder kid. Pele played, scored and won a World Cup when he was 17. R9 was part of the World Cup winning squad when he was 17. He didn’t play a game in that WC. But by the time he was 19, he was already considered the best player in the world. Neymar is good no doubt but no where near the other 2.

3:53 This sums up Neymar. His team are losing 2-1, so he quits being a team player in order to "save" the team .... and they go on to lose 5-2.

[@nakimteti7249]

He should have gone to Juventus.... Him being at Barca made him a second or even the third best,Suarez was the best too in his own regards. But at Juventus they had a powerful team to rule them all in Italy imagine if they had that Neymar am sure he would have gotten them two CL or even more.

[@electricbogaloo]

Thanks for the respect for Suarez. Like Neymar, he only didn't get a ballon'dor because he had to compete with prime Messi and Ronaldo

[@aldobonaso3481]

as a Juve fan, I couldn't disagree more. Neymar does not fit the type of player that would thrive at Juve, or in Italy. He is too weak, and he would be injured 4 out of 5 games. He's a flashy player. Juve does not do flashy. We do team ethic and fight together. Even Ronaldo was completely wrong for Juve, a big mistake to buy him.

Pelé is, by far, the greatest wonderkid that ever existed. At 23, he already had 410 goals and 177 assists in only 328 matches, 587 goal contributions. He had 15 trophies that included: 2 WCs, 2 Libertadores and 2 Intercontinentals.
