Another superb talent that could have played for Real Madrid. Still could play for Real Madrid but for a lot more money now. Neymar it has been revealed came to Real Madrid on a 10 day trial and impressed the coaching staff but some contract issues prevented Real Madrid to sign him.
And now he is the hottest player on the planet at 19 years of age. His agent says he is exactly like Lionel Messi. Ronaldo says that he is his successor. Ronaldo is pretty impressed with Neymar and says that as good as Neymar is, he has got ample amounts of improvement to do in his technique and physical built. That means that he could even before better though we all know what happens to these kind of players.
If they do not work hard and get complacent just because some legend praises their potential, they end up having an average career. Robinho, Adriano and Quaresma are all players that could have been world beaters. They had immense talent and performed to sky high levels in their first couple of seasons with their respective clubs but then ego got to them.
They started to have problems with the coaches and the clubs and now look at them. How many people consider Robinho to be the next world player of the year. Who hear can name the club Quresma plays for (without looking up wikipedia) and how many people know Adriano’s current club right now. Wasted I say.
Anyway, Neymar was basically called up for a trial when Robinho was signed and Perez was the president back then so may be that is why Real Madrid did not try to negotiate.
Back then the head of Real Madrid youth development said that Neymar was the most phenomenal player he had ever seen of his age. He looked like extra terrestrial even with kids 3 years older than him.
Now has come the time where Neymar has to move to Europe. Chelsea look set to sign him. I would like him to come to Real Madrid as he is young and can take on players with the skills I have not seen before Ronaldo and Messi. He is pretty expensive right now and that is the main problem with Neymar.
His club knows that every club in Europe wants Neymar. So obviously there is going to be a bidding war and Neymar is going to end up costing 50 to 60 million euros.
