I am taking about his reputation, it took a huge hit with all the theatrics.1naija wrote:But he took his team further than the other two, who btw did not win the cup either. No?King Futcha wrote:who?
he went from top three to not mentioned at all in one tournament.
I actually think he had a better World cup than some press and some Nigerians are making it out to be. Brazil just met a better Belgian team, period.
No one disputes Neymar's talent. However, that is not enough. If I were a coach, I would want players who add more value to my team than just raw talent. If my team is desperately searching for an equaliser, Griezman or Hazard or more likely to get me one than Neymar at the moment.cic old boy wrote:Neymar’s problem is complex. He is a very talented footballer, but needs to decide whether he wants to be the very best or just a very rich celebrity.
If you want to be the best, you must be playing against the very best. Going to PSG made no sense on footballing reasons. Cantona said so at the time.
The other issue Neymar has is a reverse of the Messi problem. Neymar grew up playing futsal. So his game is still about individualism, tricks, etc and trying to win the game on his own. Messi grew up in an academy system and while he has individual ability, he has honed it to blend with a team game and you get the best out of him within a structure. So while Neymar can sometimes produce moments of brilliance in a chaotic structure, Messi tends to give up if the system is not suitable for him.
Neymar needs to be in a team where he submits to the team ethic and has to think seriously about his decision making on the pitch. I used to think that maturity would make his decision-making better, but it is not proving to be the case. Just b/c the likes of Hazard and Griezmann had a better WC doesn’t mean they are more talented than Neymar. It’s just that they sacrificed their individualism for greater team goals. Hazard is definitely a great player, while Griezmann is just a very good striker.
The first step towards improvement for Neymar is to leave France and go to a club where a good coach can work on his weaknesses rather than indulge them.
It's not simply 'theatrics', I believe he is genuinely hurting from the tackles he recieves but it's not normal hence why people say it's theatrics. He has been abusing his body with alcohol and possibly other things a long time now.. and that is the reason for his fragile body.King Futcha wrote:I am taking about his reputation, it took a huge hit with all the theatrics.1naija wrote:But he took his team further than the other two, who btw did not win the cup either.

Do you know him personally to make all these wild allegations against him? First you said he has mental problems. Now you are saying he has been abusing his body with alcohol and other things. Does this really make you feel good? I would be disgusted with myself if I were you!
You forgot what Neymar did for Barca in the CL when Messi couldn't provide requisite leadership?Ayo Akinfe wrote:Neymar is too lazy a player to achieve his true potential. He needs to put more effort in if he wants to match Messi and Ronaldo.
A player of Neymar’s talent should be able to single handedly win matches even when his team is playing badly. Eden Hazard is way above Neymar in the world rankings now as is Ivan Peresic, Kevin De Byrne, Antoine Greizeman and of course Kylian Mbappe.
That was a long time ago. The Neymar of 2018 is a shadow of that player!Kabalega wrote:You forgot what Neymar did for Barca in the CL when Messi couldn't provide requisite leadership?Ayo Akinfe wrote:Neymar is too lazy a player to achieve his true potential.
