Brazil legend Cafu
Brazil legend Cafu has said Neymar is ‘technically better’ than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Neymar has been one of the best players in the world since he burst onto the scene at Santos in 2009. He was one of the finest players in Europe during his time at Barca and became the most expensive player in history by joining PSG.
Cafu – a World Cup winner – says while Neymar tops those two, there’s an area he needs to improve upon.
“Neymar is technically better than Messi, better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but he must assume the responsibility of a leader,” said Cafu.
“One must dedicate themselves 100 per cent to football, I’m not better than Neymar, but I am better than other right-backs because I dedicated myself to that.
“He [Neymar] has to become a captain.”
Neymar, 28, has won 24 trophies across his 12-year club career, including eight league titles and the Champions League.
The Brazilian has scored 265 goals in 447 games to date.
