Ronaldinho names Manchester United target as the current best player in the world.

2-time World best player in the world, Ronaldinho has branded Barcelona star, Neymar as the best player in the world. The ex Santos forward has held the forte in teammate, Lionel Messi’s absence, mesmerizing football fans over the world with incredible skills and spectacular goals.
”Neymar, currently on form, is the best player in the world,

His rise has not surprised me at all. Even when he was a kid his ability was obvious. At the age he is, I still have every belief he can go on to get better and better.

“Now he has reached the level of the best in the world, he can stay there for five or six years, comfortably.

He could and would succeed at any league in the world. “Of course, there are always transition periods. But when you have that much ability you will succeed in any league in any country.

England is not an easy league to succeed in, but yes of course he would be a success there.

“I can’t see why Barcelona would want to allow him to leave, but if he was to, I’m sure that it would have to be for a record fee.’

Neymar included in Brazil's 24-man list despite suspension

Brazilian star, Neymar Jr has been added in the Selecao’s 24-man list for Brasil Global Tour fixtures with Costa Rica and USA.
The Barcelona star missed his club’s Uefa Super Cup victory over Sevilla this month after contracting the mumps.
He is also suspended for Brazil’s first two World Cup qualifiers, against Chile and Venezuela in October, but Dunga says he may play a part next month after being
named as the 24th member of the squad.

“The list has 24 players that we can use anytime,” Dunga said.

“Neymar will stay off two weeks so let’s see if he will return in a condition to play against Costa Rica. We are already taking another player to cover any unforeseen
circumstances.

“Neymar is a reference. If we were only thinking about the first two matches of qualification, then we would not take him, but we are thinking about every game.”

The 23-year-old will miss the qualifiers after receiving a red card against Colombia in June’s Copa America.
“We want to see how the team works with and without him,” Dunga added.
“Time is short, we have to work options. So any time must be used. No coach would leave Neymar out.”
The five-time world champions will meet Costa Rica at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ, on September 5 before travelling to the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough,MA, for a clash with USA on September 9.

Neymar ruled out for two weeks, to miss Spanish and European Super Cup

Brazilian star, Neymar Jr has been ruled out for two weeks after being diagnosed with parotisis (mumps) and will now miss the Spanish and European Super Cup.
A club statement released on Sunday read: “The first team medical staff at FC Barcelona has announced on Sunday
that Neymar will be out for two weeks after being diagnosed with parotitis (mumps), despite the fact that he had previously been vaccinated against the disease.

“Therefore, the Brazilian striker will miss the European Super Cup final on Tuesday in Tbilisi, Georgia against Sevilla and also the Spanish Super Cup final which sees
Luis Enrique’s team take on Athletic Club over two legs on 14 and 17 August.”

Neymar’s absence could see Manchester United target Pedro starting for Luis Enrique’s side, who are looking to follow on from last season’s Treble success.
The Barca squad trained for the final time in Spain before departing for Tuesday’s match in Georgia, with Luis Enrique
taking his full 25-man squad with the exception of Neymar.

Neymar gets 4-match ban

Brazilian forward, Neymar has been handed a 4-match ban following his poor conduct in Brazil’s 1-0 Copa America loss to Colombia on Thursday. ‎Recall that he picked a red card after he angrily kicked a ball at Colombia’s Pablo Armero even after the final whistle was blown.
That wasn’t all, he reportedly waited for Chilean referee Enrique Osses at the tunnel and verbally abused him. Bad of him!
He was initially suspended for one match but the South American football confederation CONMEBOL extended the ban and imposed a $10,000 (£6,300) fine.

Ronaldo blasts Neymar over poor conduct

My poor Neymar. Recall that his ex team mate,  Xavi advised him to reflect on his attitude two weeks ago. Brazilian legend, Ronaldo De Lima is far from pleased with the Barcelona star ‎for his conduct in Brazil’s 1-0 Copa America loss to Colombia few days back.
Immediately the full-time whistle was blown, Neymar  angrily kicked a ball at Colombia’s Pablo Armero and got  himself a red card. Later on, he  blamed his attitude on poor officiating but Ronaldo deemed his excuse as flimsy.
“It’s not justified, what he has said and done. Currently he is going through a tough time. He is acting very aggressively and he is not accepting anything that happens. In the Brazil jersey, you cannot do that.” He said on Globo.

"I feel cheated!" Santos fan sues Neymar for joining Barcelona

Funny things happen in football! A heartbroken Santos fan has decided to sue Brazilian football star, Neymar Jnr for dumping his club for Barcelona.
Luciano Pereira Caparroz, a Brazilian lawyer filed the lawsuit against Neymar and N&N in a Sao Paulo courthouse a week ago for a total of €8,400 for moral and material damages.
He further explained that the amount was to cover the costs of his journey to Japan to support the team having spent the sum of €3,200 to attend the Club World Cup and watch Neymar and the rest of his team members play against Barcelona.
He was shocked to his wits later when he found out that his favourite player had signed a pre-contract to join Barcelona prior to their 2011 Club World Cup final in Japan.
“I’m a Santista, I go to all the games and I decided to travel to Japan to watch the Club World Cup.  I was left frustrated with the result and on top of that, later on we learned that Neymar was already sold.  I feel cheated.”
