Neymar has claimed that he has earned respect with his national team because he is one of the most important Brazil players of the last decade.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward used Lionel Messi's role at Barcelona as an example to explain why he might get different treatment to his Selecao teammates.
"I've been in the national team for 10 years," he told the media.
"I've always been one of the most important players and one of those who has led the way, as I never hid and I always did well with the national team.
"When a player has this performance, it's normal to have a different treatment.
"At Barcelona, Messi has a different treatment.
"Does he have it for being more handsome? No, it is for what he has done.
"I say this not only for myself, but for all the players that reach this level."
Neymar will celebrate his 100th game with Brazil in the friendly against Senegal and he revealed his three best moments with his national team.
"My debut against the United States in 2010, my World Cup debut and my first World Cup goal in 2014," he added.

Neymar is a really great player. he is better than mbappe n all the young new players. But his greediness for money is ruining his career. He must go back to spain, italy or England. There he can prove his value.

i don't think it's the numbers of the years in a team which give you respect or numbers of the games play. it suppose to be the numbers of troffees you give to the team. in this case has no respect in Brazil , he doesn't give nothing to the national team yet. You have to shout your month and get some troffees for Brazil after you can talk about respect

Apparently linked with Chelsea. Personally I'm against this deal cos it brings way too much trouble to the club but what do you guys think? I have my reasons.

Who is goat for u bro
For me Messi and CR7 is best of all time as I haven't seen other legends like Pele, Maradona or Brazil Ronaldo much. I prefer CR7 honestly but for me both are legends. People who prefer Messi, I don't have a problem but I don't like people saying shit about CR7. I hope we all can respect both.
