Title: "Only Ronaldo and Messi are better than Neymar"

Brazilian national team coach Tite continues to believe that Neymar is among the top three best footballers on the planet.

Neymar will finally be able to return to match mode after a long break. After spending the whole summer away from PSG, the Brazilian joined the national team and will have the chance to appear on the field against Colombia tonight.

"If Neymar was not ready to play, he would not be in the national team," -Tite spoke about the player's physical condition.

"We never turn a blind eye to events when it comes to the player's health. Both me and the entire coaching staff will carefully monitor his situation. He is ready to play and help the team, as he has done until now," - the coach continued.

Speaking about the player's mastery, Tite added that only two footballers are superior to Neymar. In addition, he considers him and Eden Hazard as the greatest talents of this era.

"50 percent of all Brazilian goals were scored when Neymar played. He scored goals and made assists.

In terms of individual skill, he is surpassed only by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both players are from a different era. In this era, I put Neymar and Eden Hazard on the same level, they are both exceptional players.

Neymar and Hazard think alike on the field, but Neymar's advantage is that he does everything faster. He is simply unstoppable," - Tite said.
