It still seems so bizarre to me now that Neymar hasn't done more because at his core he is a phenomenal player and I believed in him in 2016. None of us anticipated how long the Ronaldo vs Messi era would last and its possible this broke players like Neymar and Bale, the younger millenials who were supposed to be the best in the world by the end of the 2010's. These players have gone on to do great things but they've always fallen short of the ludicrously high expectations. Now Gen Z is here, the likes of Mbappe, Haaland, Bellingham have the hype and potential Neymar used to have but without the GOAT shaped barriers.

I'm brazillian, he's not a failure but he's so far from what we expected it's hard to accept

People tend to judge him for what he could have been instead of what he actually is. A phenomenal once in a generation player.

He didn’t fail. He reached his childhood dream… probably surpassed his dreams. Helps out the community has crazy amounts of money and has fun everyday. Our opinions of what he should have achieved or can is irrelevant…. He came up in an era with the 2 greatest players to touch a pitch being Ronaldo and Messi if it was just him without those 2 he’d probably have at least 1 balón d or by now if not 2. Regardless he didn’t fail

Being Brazilian and following Neymar's career since Santos, I can say that he had the potential to easily score more than 40 goals per season... The injuries hurt him a lot, along with the pressure from the Brazilian press, which always criticized him for being a celebrity, which has already made him give statements about not playing for the national team anymore or even retiring.

Neymar didn’t fail, he just didn’t meet people’s impossible expectations, he succeeded, but not as much as others wanted him to

The best wonderkid 😢 he even placed top 10 in Ballon D’or in santos

The Brazilian prince who never became king 😢

I’ll never forget neymar at santos we literally witnessed his come up😭😭🔥

Speaking as a Brazilian that saw him back in the Santos days, the fact Neymar is considered a 'failure' when he's such an accomplished footballer speaks volumes to the potential people saw in him, as someone that brings magic to football, that makes it fun. In that perspective, I think he succeeded

The point of Neymar being a player out of time is a very interesting one. There's no doubt in my mind that if he'd peaked in the 2000s or even the 2010s, before the era of high pressing when forwards could be more lethargic and free, he would've gone down as an all time great It's also wild that someone can equal Pele's goal tally for Brazil, win a Champion's League and still go down as a failure. Messi and Ronaldo really warped our perception of what a successful footballer should look like (a massive volume of goals and constant, constant winning) and whether that's fair or not it's the nature of the modern game

I think what I'll remember most about Neymar is how he was pivotal in the 6-1 comeback against PSG yet after the game everyone was focusing on Messi and the photo of that match is Lionel being thrown up in the air by their teammates.

i remember when neymar jr was up and coming, he was literally seen as the next biggest thing ever in life, as a player hes not a failure, he’s definitly one of the greats, but man he sure is a failed wonderkid, probably the greatest failure a wonderkid could ever be considering what was meant for him

He really is the last of a dying breed and i hate how i don't get to see him week in week out due to limited access to French football on streaming platforms. Only getting to see him in the CL and WC is so hard cause he's such an amazing player.

I really feel bad for Neymar, back in 2013-16 he was supposed to be a face of football after Messi and CR7, not only me but most of the football fans too, but a lot of injuries, move to PSG, rise of Mbappe in PSG and incredible aging of CR7 and Messi, so yea, he was unlucky a lil bit, also we all know if it wasnt for Messi and CR7 he would have been a 2x Ballon dor winner, and imo he is better than Ronaldinho, but he is going to have a better legacy with Ballon Dor that Ney probably is not going to win😊

He's not a failure far from it I think it's a combo of being a victim of prime Messi CR7 era + the most heinous injuries that can happen to a player, he's the most fouled player in the past 2 decades like everyone wants to break him. Coming back from an injury that nearly paralyzed him shows the mentality he has, plus his ankle injury he never got treated since 2017 takes a toll. He did recently get surgery finally and if he continues like he was beginning of this season he'll be a fire cracker & I pray still he achieves more possibly the wc with Brazil in 2026!

As an Argentinian Neymar was truly terrified in the Copa America 2019, that match I considered that was his peak...Neymar got fouled by Cuti Romero and Otamendi and he got up and continue to run like crazy, even Dibu Martinez said he was unstoppable that night...even Messi got him a foul. He will always be for me the brazilian player with most potencial but like Ronaldinho himself his personal life maybe crippled that. If he had stay in Barcelona I think he would have become a better player and less prone to injuries since League1 he gets tackled a lot because it is the only way a less skill league like that can stop him.

Definitely media. When he was young he didn't do himself any favours. But since his love to PSG he's matured a lot as a player. He's amazing and it's a shame that he doesn't get recognition really. Top 3 Brazilian players OAT we'll never see another like him. Generational player.

I think when I was younger I bought into the hype of "Neymar is a shitty player with a big ego and he's horrible and doesn't deserve anything." But over the years I've come to pity him as a player. He's really fucking good and always has been. And I don't think he'll ever get the recognition he truly deserves because he just constantly lives in someone else's shadow on top of the shit the media always says about him. Just such a shame really. He was really something special but he came up in the wrong era I think.

People don’t know the mental challenge of recovering from injuries. They just see the wage and think it’s easy. The amount of injuries he’s had from ankle breaks, ankle ligament ruptures, breaking his goddamn back. I salute that he still has the courage to play. It’s not like in F1 when there’s a mechanical failure. Yes it’s part and parcel of the sport, it will happen to everyone. But in F1 mechanics can repair the car. This is Neymar’s own physical body.

As a younger Brasilian fan (19) I’ve always looked up to Ney because he was the first brasilian super star I saw besides the twilight of Kaka’s career. But when I look at other older fans like my parents and older fans in general, they all say he never delivered the way they expected him to. I personally feel like that partially has to do with the brasil squads he’s been a part of compared to the World Cup winning ones from the past, but also because pf the amount of pressure that has been put on him from football greats and fans alike since he was a teenager.

The definition of so close yet so far; Neymar

Really enjoyed watching Neymar weekly although I'm not a Barcelona or PSG fan: even watched him on yt when he still was playin for Santos. It's become less and less games every year but when he plays it just magic. Certainly one of my favourite players, but if looking objectively to it. He could have achieved more. The factors are rather out of his control as you mentioned in the video. But being more fit and training more could have really been the edge. Although you can't really blame the man. The negativity and hate he gets, I can understand why he likes to party and stuff to just be out that world.

this aged well

as a brazilian I just can’t believe someone would call him a failure.. apart from being a main player on squads that won Libertadores and Champions League titles and so many other trophies, he’s a fantastic player which we don’t see so often anymore as you mentioned, as football gets more and more athletic and tactical each decade. In the late 90’s-2000’s we had Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Adriano, Kaká, Alex, Juninho Pernambucano, Roberto Carlos, Djalminha, Denilson, Robinho; in the 80’s and early 90’s we had Romário, Bebeto, Zico, Falcão, Reinaldo, Sócrates, Raí, Edmundo etc; before that Pelé, Garrincha, Rivelino, Didi and so many others. But from his generation, Neymar is the only brazilian that got to the highest level and got achievements, to the point where he’s the only one in the world (and not only Brasil now) to be considered Cristiano and Messi’s level. The four other big names from this brazilian generation in terms of forwards and playmakers were Coutinho, Alexandre Pato, Ganso and Lucas Moura. Coutinho was kind of a meh player for us with some highs and some very lows throughout his career; Pato had huge potential (I thought he would be our next R9 😂) but probably too lazy and suffered with injuries; Ganso also suffered with injuries and most of you don’t even remember who he was, but he was an absolutely phenomenal midfielder and MANY people here believed he had greater potential than Neymar; and Lucas’ case is a weird one for me because I always loved him as a player but was never given many opportunities at Brasil, PSG and when his big moment came at Tottenham, the genius pocchetino sacked him for fckn Dele Alli 😂. Out of all the names I said here, the only ones I consider as true failures are Adriano for social/psychological reasons; Pato for being so soft and apparently lazy and unmotivated at times, had injuries but he could have been SO much more; Robinho for many reasons; and Djalminha for being so reckless. Calling Ney a failure is to me just as unfair as calling Ronaldo a failure because he couldn’t mantain his godlike form after injuries (despite being somewhat lazy with his physique after a time); Kaká for his injuries; Ronaldinho for having a relatively short peak given how he declined afterwards due to unprofessional conducts; Garrincha for falling to alcoholism after success; Romário for choosing to come back to Brasil after winning a WC and being awarded the best player in the world just to “be happy” or stuff like that. Yeah Neymar might not have achieved what these did, but is still a legendary player that will be remembered for ages, and is already regarded higher than many of these legends mentioned above. Brazil is an odd place man and so is our culture.. football is a HUGE part of our culture so everything is kind of crazy and unexpected all the time just as our game is, but it is also a magical place that every now and then spawns these crazy footballing geniuses who are more often than not just as difficult to understand as a person as it is to stop them on the pitch when they come dribbling towards you.. and as long as we’re a country in this planet, Neymar is not a dying breed.

💔love ney man. The reason I love this sport. It hurts how his career has went but he is still one of the greatest to ever play. I hope he can give it a run in 2026.

Another banger Viz, thanks for the video. Neymar is such a modern topic and a fascinating demonstration of the transition in football as if he was the bridge between the times of football. Great and always shiny, but yet still in the shadow because of individual traits and flaws. A sense of hope for brazil but yet also the one at the cause of their failure. Chose a fast way to greatness instead of a more enduring but more rewarding path. Consistency and humbleness is probably what he lacked cause that's what some of the young players have aside of their skill Haaland,belingham,foden,mbappe.

He isn't a failure but even as a very loyal Neymar fan I can't consider him being in level of Messi, Cr7, R9, Pele, Maradona etc...but he's still an incredible player who's been my favourite player for years. Sad that he didn't reach potential he could have reached😔...transfer to PSG and injuries especially injuries did stop him doing that. What legend he could have been had he stayed at Barca...

Like Suarez said recently if Neymar had the patience to stay at Barca in some years he would develop even more and got a least one ballon dr, and I think personally even one more ucl in 2019 . Messi and Suarez was sad and wasn’t the same when their best friend just left like that without an real explanation at the time.. he was indeed born in wrong era he could have been So much more. It was not wrong move away from Barca but to early I think he could have left in 2020 to a better club than psg that is a better choice. He has one chance left to win WC 2026 he is still young but it all depends on his mentality and if he wins WC his legacy is complete with WC it’s leading automatically to a ballon dr likely.

Neymar was the reason I started playing and watching soccer more often he will always be a legend of the game. The stuff he did on the field in the early 2000s was magical, he had my young mind blown👏🏽

We have to consider body type to a degree. His body type is both a blessing and a curse. Like Robinho, it gives him agility to dribble like no other, but at the end of the day, football is a man's game. If he played one or two touches he wouldn't get injured as much, but then again he wouldn't be Neymar. With this consideration, I think he has done the best he could and didn't 'fail'.

I think that Neymar, is still to me one of the most underrated players in this generation. Everyone goes like "His time at santos was crazy" and that how his potential failed. This isn't the only video I saw about making how neymar has had a failed career or is a failed prospect. He isn't and he has achieved so much. That is what is important, but everyone fails to see that. Everyone looks at how terrible he is now. He is struggling yes, but look at his time at barca. He was crazy. He achieved so much and its a shame that he was in the era of ronaldo and messi. The goats of football, are with one of the most overshadowed players. Did he fail? No. Did he achieve his potential? In my opinion, yes. He did so much in his career and that what's he's achieved means so much to him. Neymar will be forever underrated no matter how you put it. These videos show that he is underrated because everyone is making how his career sucks. Neymar, is one of the Top 30 best players of all time no matter how you put it in any way. You can't convince me that he isn't.

Imagine a genius music composer composing a new song in private and when he finishes the song, he performs it in concert and performs it for the audience. For me, Neymar was a genius footballer in that he composed his game right on the pitch. He may not have been as perfect as other famous players, but no one had his playfulness, improvisation and enjoyment of the game like him. I often felt as if a new trick came to him right on the field and he immediately executed it, which others could not do. Maybe if they didn't expect him to be the best, he would be the best!

As a brazillian, Neymar is not a failure as all, he had a stunishing beginning here in the national league with Santos and woned the Libertadores, at Barça he was also brilliant, his driblling and protagonism was notorious, he was pure entertainment, woned the olympics for the first time, but when he went to PSG everything gone wrong, besides of his behavior extrafield, he kind of harm himself, my feeling is that he is a great player, but could have being much more

Can you please make a video on the Antonio Conte situation at Tottenham or just Tottenham’s situation in general. It seems like a very complicated and serious situation and I would love and I’m sure other people would love to know a little more about it. Keep up the great videos!

Something I noticed in the video look at Ronaldinho's dribbling and Neymar, R10 just straightforward and fast, like he knows where he wants to go, Neymar's is all over the place and not quick or straightforward with his dribbling which probably contributes to the defenders having more success fouling him. I tell you man it's not all on the defenders, Neymar gives them ample time and opportunity to foul him, if you watch football for a long time, you probably know this already.

I think neymar is okay. But his phisique is not for him. His Dribbling Are amazing. He has the potential to bet one of the best,but i mean it a lot.

It's the same problem as Iker Muniain, a similar wonderkid contemporary which had injuries either interfere with development before turning durable as a mere husk of what he could have been (Muniain) or break up the peak (Neymar Jr). Combine with Messi and Ronaldo lasting as long as they did, Neymar got overshadowed.

I’m Brazilian and as a kid he was what I wanted to be. Every World Cup I had faith in him and was never worried because we had Neymar. I don’t know if I should call him a failure. I wish I could bring him up in the conversation of the greats I really do and at some point he was. In the current present he is not what we expected him to be.

amazing vizeh keep it going man ❤

Neymar is the most talented player I’ve ever seen he can play flair and then play with devastating output with G/A the problem is it’s impossible for consistency when you’re forever injured I love him and always will my goat

I dont think he's a failure especially when compared to the average pro football player. But in terms of what he could've been, it definitely feels like a let down that he was not able to reach his full potential.

Please make more documentaries like this! This was dope

You guys are forgetting he started his career in the midst of Messi and Ronaldo, him staying on 3rd place despite competing with two football titans is an achievement on its own

He hasn’t failed it’s just that Messi vs Ronaldo went on for way too long. If it ended by 2014, Neymar would’ve had all the attention on him and he would’ve been able to show the entirety of the world how good and skilful he really was.

We wouldn’t have compared him with all those greats if he didn’t have something special himself 🤝🏽

A other banger 🔥vizeh I really love this channel

He’s still achieved so much and we expected more. Tells us a lot about his talent

Let's be honest, if he wanted to be the best, he would be the best. His heart really wasn't into it as the others were. You could see the passion from Messi and Ronaldo when they wanted to score, win and be the best, even going head to head with each other for most goals per season. Neymar is always talking about possible early retirement, which means that he really isn't in to it anymore. He just wants to party and live life for the most part.

i feel like we tend to overstate how great a player will be when they're young and that sets up almost unattainable expectations for these players. Neymar was quite young when they were saying that he would be the next Pele and no one prepares you for that type of pressure. Also, his injuries ruined him and he's been quite limited. I don't think he has the energy anymore to prove himself now and thinks that he missed out - I hope he manages to make a good come back that does justice to his talent and his perseverance in the face of that many obstacles

98% of the Brazilian kids dream every day of being a failure just like him, he is the reason great many people start loving the sport and one of the few reasons the average Brazilian has to smile and hope for something great. He is unhuman, he is as successful as you can get. Maybe not the way he intended or people that watch him intended, but he is undoubtedly one of the greatest in history.

It’s crazy like I’m a Celtic fan and I’ve watched so many great players at Celtic park such as Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Henry etc but genuinely Neymar is the best player I’ve seen live he’s absolutely incredible

he is not a failure. he hasn't reached his fullest potential if you look at the major titles his won he has had a great career. i think with less injuries and more ueefa wins we would be talking about the three greatest players messi , cristiano and neymar. but overall he is a unique player

He's clearly not a bad player at all, but he definitely didn't live up to expectation and let his potential get to his head. He went down the route of playing only for money. Anybody who has seen him play has seen his antics and attitude on the pitch and it often overtakes his actual football.

People seem to forget that one his injuries almost made him a paraplegic. His body type is the main problem, he has a very small and frail frame. Whereas Messi and Ronaldo, messi has a bit of a more muscular and stocky build, and Ronaldo obviously tall and stocky as well. It’s very easy to injure Neymar because of this, and it’s a damn shame.

When he was a young boy, which lived in a favela, and sometimes didn't have anything to eat, his dream was to become a professional football player. He succeeded, he won, he is the best. He managed to score the winning goal, in the final of the 2016 olympics, he made Brazil win their only missing title. I miss the days when he had that Mohawk and he was the next-Pelé. I'll forever be a Neymar fan

" Neymar could have been the greatest player ever " Ya well I could have too if I never got that damn knee injury

Neymar is brilliant. My favorite player to watch after Messi. He should never have left Barcelona and he even admitted it was a mistake. But he's been unfortunate. At key moments he's been injured year after year. He's always had an issue with holding the ball too long at times and not releasing it and utilizing his dribbling skills in the most effective moments. As to why Messi isn't injured like him despite the fouls is that Messi is a bull. Strong, low center of gravity and Messi has the ability to evade fouls vs looking for contact

As an American fan who has taken a liking to Marseille recently, I can't wait for your inevitable PSG video. You're my favorite footballing KZfaqr out there. Keep up the great work!

Hi lad, great video again. I would love to see one about the Barcelona reffing scandal because there has been so much contrasting info on it, would love to hear your take

He deserves a worldcup. Give it your all one last time Neymar. Don't quit yet!

I don't think he is a failure. In fact, I think he is a success considering the immense amount of pressure to be the best when the likes of messi and cristiano were in their peak. Facing that at that age and still being able to be in that top 3 most of the time, I was impressed back then. He is perhaps the only starboy from back then who's name is still in that top 5. Statistics back him up which is even sadder cause I JUST FUCKING WISH he doesn't get injured anymore. Also he has steel balls, that many injuries and the talent is still overflowing. Less amount of games and he still places one of the highest in stats. A quote by Jose Mourinho on Hazard reminds me of Neymar so much "The way, match after match, he's being punished by opponents and he's not being protected by referees, maybe one day we don't have Eden Hazard." Honestly don't know how he is still standing with those legs? how they still deliver the flick, the turn? he's neymar for a reason and not just another player, he hasn't given up, but we will be too late to notice ig

Vizeh keep it up brodie

I think overplaying from a young age also played a part in his injury problems. For me Ney will always be my favorite player. He displays such magic on the ball which no other player can❤

Depends he made some bad moves and injuries have messed him up and born in wrong era but he been amazing as well

Could his ambition be questioned? After the documentary on Netflix it was clear his father & those around him really pushed for Neymar to be a BRAND, similar to Beckham. Was his ambition ever to be the greatest footballer in the world, or just build a big enough brand to live off when he calls it a day on the pitch?

I give my perspective about Neymar: Neymar for me is the second best entertainer I’ve ever seen after Ronaldinho. His skills,goals,celebrations,games are just fun & impressive to watch. I remember the national game against Argentina in 2016 when he bodied just everybody from the Argentina squad. Even Messi couldn’t handle him. Like it wasn’t funny to me. My perspective of why he leaved Barça is bcs he wanted to show the ppl that he can be the boss without Messi & Suarez. Bcs he doesn’t wanted to be the shadow of Messi. I feel like ppl are so much impulsive discrediting when ppl forget of what he archived. He was a Top 10 player of the Ballon’dor as a Santos player. He carried the whole Brazil to the 2013 Confed Cup & their first Olympia ever in 2016. He putted PSG for the first in time in a CL Final in 2020. He played in Copa America Final in 2021 & the Argentinas were so fucking dirty to him. And I’m sure ppl wouldn’t say that his career failed if he won the CL with & the Copa while he won already for Brazil. Injuries were his reasons tho. For all ppl saying „He should stay at Barça. He would def win a Ballon’dor“ i say maybe. But only bcs of Suarez & especially Messi. He would be shadowed just like Xavi & Iniesta. Bcs after 2015 Barça couldn’t get it done to win more CL trophies. In terms of „plays“ they’re the best trios but by „success“ no. So in my perspective Neymar‘s career isn’t failed. He’s just discredited bcs he leaved Barça

great video Vizeh!

Despite the pressure Neymar also joined when Messi and Ronaldo where in their absolute prime and dominating the whole football, there was no one who could come out of their shadows

In a perfect world, Neymar and Messi stayed at Barcelona and things never went bad for the club

The insane staying power of Messi and Ronaldo definitely outshined alot of world class players who otherwise would've been wrangling for the top spot or for Balon d'Or. Messi hasn't stopped being in the limelight since 2005, just think about how insane that is! And his legend has only swelled ever since. CR7 is a similar story. I feel like no other football generation has ever seen such a thing.

Neymar at his best is the greatest Ronaldinho throwback I've ever seen. The flair, the escape dribbles, the finesse, the creativity... I think he underachieved considering his potential and expectations but I give him some slack coz of the injuries.

He's not a failure, he's just wasted potential

He has surpassed Robinho and Ronaldinho. He is not a failure in my book. I will never forget MSN at Barcelona.

10.20 completely agree. Sad to see these kind of players are dying out

Great video man.

He is the most skillful player with the ball ever. Also players tackle him pretty hard which forces him to dive quite a bit because if they don’t he usually makes them look silly.

He’s nowhere near of a failure, he was just set up in the wrong time going up against 2 of the most impressive players we seen since in the history of football.

Just find your channel and loved it, one more subscriber. Do a video talking about Maguire' Manchester United's footballplayer

As a Brazilian I'n impressed with how reasonable and balanced this video was, congratulations, Vizeh!

I think he was a great player, but he really could have been even better in multiple occasions...

He is a failure not for what he was, but what he couldve been

The fact is: The only season he wasn’t injured he took PSG to CL final (Covid lockdown). Another fact: Neither he nor Mbappe scored a single goal on the way to final!

Brilliant video, I agree with 99% but I do think there are still some skilful ballers today, raphina, mbappe, vini jr etc

I’ve never once looked at Neymar and thought clinical. The problem with Neymar personally for me is that he cares more to dribble around than to contribute consistently in all the facets of the game. Great talent but a lot of wasted potential

You saw what PSG did with a somewhat functional midfield in 2019/20. That’s why Tuchel’s tenure was underrated. He took that club to the ucl final with gueye, paredes, and verratti. The truth is before then and even after, the midfield just hasn’t been good enough. You also can’t have more than one luxury/ non-pressing type players. Neymar was incredibly fit at Barca, he was like Mitoma on crack. He could dribble past players with ease, to either side. He can still do that but it’s not as clean or looks as effortless as it once did. He was also pretty effective at Barca. He was easily my favorite player then.

Another banger VIZEH!

Simply not a failure, 1 Champions League- 2015 1 UEFA Super cup- 2016 1 FIFA Club World Cup- 2016 1 FIFA Confederation Cup- 2013 1 Olympic Gold - 2016 1 Under-20 South American Championship- 2011 1 Recopa Sudamericana- 2012 1 Brazilian cup- 2010 1 Copa Libertadores- 2011 2 Spanish champions/ La Liga- 2015, 2016 3 Spanish cup/ Copa Del Ray- 2015, 2016,2017 1 Spanish Super Cup- 2014 4 French champion/ Ligue 1- 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 How many players has ever won this lot of trophies? yes, only a successful one. Firstly, he is battling injury that hinders him a lot.. Second, Messi and ronaldo era that "cancel" him winning any trophy or individual trophy As for his caliber, eh is up there with messi and ronaldo, Watching him as a threat is scary.

im braziliam and i think the 2022 WC represents really well what is Neymar - In the start of the tournament all the hype arround him and the Seleção, you have that happy and motivateded player just echanting everyone - then the injuries, and you starts to think "oh we have one of the bests and... he isnt playing" - the return and you think "ok, now its our time" - the miracle goal against croatia, all set to face argentina and... - the defeat... it wasn't his fault, but you can't exempt him from responsibility, because he was the guy on that team this for me is the summary of what his story was

I'm Brazilian and Neymar made me love football, I remember how yesterday, when I was very young at 5-6 years old, walking out on the streets with that Mohawk hair, Neymar exuded the purest and most beautiful football art in the world,In the literal sense of the phrase from 2011 to 2018 Neymar was THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD, not in statistics, not in titles, but in football, just as Ronaldinho was elected not for titles or statistics, but for football demonstrated, the fact that Neymar is considered a failure goes by what he could be, as he is already one of the greatest in history, probably outside of 20, but no one played like him, only him and R10 managed Enchanting the world with his football, unfortunately he didn't have a great career, at 21 he had 130 goals, at 25 300, but he reaches 31 with less than 500,A player who, due to his talent, could end up with 700 easy goals, could easily achieve the feat of scoring 40 every year, going to PSG was not Neymar's "mistake",Until he did not do badly, the real problem was the injuries that took him out of more than 30 or 40% of his games, when he was well he performed well in the Champions League,The two times he was 100% reached the final with a dismal defeat against the German team Bayern, and missed the semis against Guardiola's city,But now all I can do is review past videos and remember that young Neymar with the crazy hair, and get stuck in the eternal "WHAT IF I DID THAT, WHAT IF I DIDN'T GO THERE, IF I DIDN'T GET INJURED"

Vizeh u have a great channel congratulations brother. Love it ❤❤. I love Neymar as a person and player he is the best player. I support him all the way. No he isn't a failure. It's far from that. ... Unfortunately it's a very complicated matter. Things in today's football are too complicated complex hard. Neymar got unlucky...he doesn't have the fanbase he deserves the love he deserves the support he deserves. And Europe treated him very very unfair and cruel and bad. That's why he left

I had the fortune of witnessing firsthand his championship run of Copa Libertadores with Santos, this man was special and a god, I could see him becoming the next one up. Not a huge fan of his diving and that fire that he had in 2011 Santos is now sort of gone, his flame isn’t there and that can affect your play

I say he his the most underachieved. Mans has it all. For me, after winning the CL back in '15 at Barca, he sought for money and got it by signing in PSG, after that he was never the same.

Hi Vizeh back in in 2016-17 I had a fake Neymar jersey I bought at a carnival in his last season at Barcelona it was the classic red and blue striped Barcelona jersey I love wear it so much that the letters wore off months later good nostalgic memories

It just seems he's nowhere as driven as he used to be. His prime was literally the early years of his careers. He gets so many injuries and it's obvious why, he doesn't take it seriously. Always partying drinking and not taking training seriously. He's obviously going to pick up injuries. It's sad so many young talents fell off like this, but neymar had so much potential that even though he has this many injuries and a lack of trying, he still made ballondor standings and was the best player on the team. This caused complacency and he dissipated from the young 21 year old who had everything at his feet.

Seems like we have never seen a Prime Brazilian long enough. Ronaldinho was not discipline, Ronaldo, Kaka and Neymar suffered injury in their career. I mean the work ethic of CR7 is what they are missing

Nemar is a supa star let get that stright and alot of kids look up to him my son to he have learn alot from watchin him i wish him all the best

The problem with Neymar is that he holds the ball and dribbles into dangerous areas in which defenders will get more aggressive. He tends to hold the ball too much near and inside the box, if he did the same tricks further away from these areas he'd be targeted less and would be injured less. R9 talked about this a bunch of times

Injuries halted him but he still came back from it thats a testament to his work ethic

It feels only like yesterday when neymars move to PSG was gonna have him in the conversation with Ronaldo and messi
