🗣️ “This is a guy I would have paid to watch. This guy could play anywhere, at any moment, in any style. He made everyone love the game, the beautiful game, with the way he was. The goals, the way he was, his smile, the dribbles… Every young player wanted to be Neymar.”
“He was and always will be an extraordinary player. I don’t want to talk about the rest. Thank you for what you did, I enjoyed it.”
