„Barcelona“ star Neymar admitted that he may never reach the level of play demonstrated by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
The latter are considered the best footballers in the world, with the last six Ballon d'Or awards going to one of these players. Both, along with Manuel Neuer, are also in the final list of candidates to win this award for the year 2014.
Meanwhile, Neymar is seen by fans and experts as one of the biggest young talents. This season, the Brazilian scored 14 goals in 18 games so far.
„I don't know if I will ever reach the level of Cristiano or Messi,“ the forward told Globoesporte.
„Today they are better than any other player on the planet. I don't know if I will reach that quality of play, but I strive to improve every day. I always want to become better.“
„Everything takes time. I grow every day. Moving to Europe is a great experience. I was happy at „Santos“, but I wanted new challenges. I hope to continue being happy.“
The 22-year-old footballer was also recently appointed captain of the Brazilian national team."
