π¨ποΈNeymar Jr:
βLionel Messi called to congratulate me on my return. Itβs a blessing to have a friend like him. Itβs his birthday, yet he still found time to celebrate me. Having the greatest footballer in history show me that kind of love means a lot.β β€οΈππ¦π·π§π·
@PJtrades_NQ Good question, patience realized how awful my patience was. Iβve become so much more well patient. That impatience led to fomo led to anger etc a literal domino effect π
π¨ Thierry Henry on Neymar's impact against Scotland:
π£βThe game changed the moment Neymar came on. That's what the very best players do. They don't need 90 minutes to leave their mark on a match.
He played around 20 minutes and still managed to create three chances. That tells you everything about his quality. It's not just about goals or assists, it's about how he sees the game and how quickly he can unlock a defence.
Every time he received the ball, Scotland had to adjust. He was asking questions, finding spaces and creating opportunities for his teammates. Brazil immediately looked more dangerous in attack.
What I always look at is influence. Can a player change the rhythm of a game? Can he make the opposition uncomfortable? Neymar did exactly that tonight.
For all the talent Brazil have, Neymar still brings something unique. Sometimes a short cameo is enough to remind everyone why he's been one of the most important players for this generation of Brazilian football.β
