Whilst Neymar is an incredibly gifted footballer himself, the Brazilian star has sought to explain just what he believes the makeup of the perfect footballer would look like.
He cited the qualities of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Ramos, suggesting that a mixture of those five players would be sensational.
"The perfect player? I think someone who has the physique of Cristiano Ronaldo, the elasticity of Zlatan, the speed of Mbappe and the heading ability of Sergio Ramos too," Neymar explained at a sponsor event.
"He needs Messi's left foot and my right foot, and the tackling of Kante and the creativity of Verratti, the position of Lewandowski too."
Menino will be the next South American star
Having made his name in South America with Santos, Neymar has watched clubs look for the next superstar to emerge from the continent, and he personally believes that Gabriel Menino of Palmeiras is likely to be that individual.
"I like Gabriel Menino," Neymar added.
"Caio Jorge del Santos is also there, he is very talented. I've seen two Libertadores games where he played, he could shine in Europe. I also like Gerson a lot."

Don’t bother Neymar: Messi is the closest man to come to thus descriptions! There will never be someone like Messi again! This man can score goals, can dribble, can assist… ohw wait: he does everything what u expect from a complete player: Messi is the god of the game!

Neymar himself is a near to perfect footballer. He has speed, vision, dribbling, finishing, penalty etc. He just needed to be more disciplined and lucky with fitness. Hopefully he will have better season next year.

prime CR7 could run faster than mbappe head better than Ramos dribble better than Messi ( 20 dribble completed in one match World record) score bicycle kicks like Zlatan... therefore CR7 is the best player ever

Ronaldo fans be like "prime CR7, younger CR7...". And u know how finished a player is when they talk abt what he used to do and not what he is doing. Honestly u can't compare CR7 to Messi, especially in dribbling bcos that would be an insult to Messi. Yes, CR7 used to be good at dribbling. Maybe better than Messi. While Messi has maintained his dribbling, CR7 has fallen dramatically; same applies to scoring free kicks. Consistency is what shd be used to judge players bcos every player has moments they are better than the rest, but how long do they maintain those moments? Messi has maintained scoring free kicks as well as dribbling. I see only one winner.

prime Ronaldo never runs 35 km per hour like mbbape, prime Ronaldo never dribbled more than 7 players like messi did, prime Ronaldo never scored a 40 yards bicycle kick like zlatan did so what you are talking I don't I think your prime Ronaldo is yet to come
