He sure looks like a doll. 21-year-old Barcelona forward, Neymar Jnr has unveiled his doll via his official website. Manufactured by Cosmokids, features of the toy which is 42cm in height include his trademark fauxhawk hairstyle, two Brazil kits and spare pair of boots and a diamond-studded earring. The doll goes for €60 and only 12,000 models would be released.
Barcelona players: Messi, Neymar, Pique, were involved in an exciting ad campaign for Qatar Airways, the official airline for the spanish club.
I like Pique and Neymar’s part. He was really looking like an entry clearing officer. Stern look!
"Casillas is one of the greatest keepers in the world – now and always. I have huge respect and admiration for him. Everyone would love to have him in their side, but on Sunday I hope to have the honour of scoring against him". He revealed.
The 2011/2012 South American Footballer of the Year award recipient continued, "It's going to be a great game. Everyone is really looking forward to it. It's a clash between two historic national sides, two teams with a lot of tradition. Spain with their star players and Brazil, with their stars. I hope that it's a match which everyone enjoys and that Brazil end as the winners.
The ex-Santos forward who scored about 3 goals in the ongoing tournament and provided the two assists, that gave Brazil a 2-1 win over Uruguay in the semi-final has joined reigning laLiga Champions, Barcelona.
Relax Neymar, if you don't toss the net in this tournament, you can do it in LaLiga.
24 year-old Leo as fondly called is the fourth person in history to win 3 Ballon d'Or trophies after Cruyff, Platini and Van Basten.
These awards were decided after a poll in which the captains and head coaches of the men's (for the two men's football awards) and women's (for the two women's football awards) national teams, as well as international media representatives selected by French football magazine France Football, voted for candidates in each of the four categories. Each group's votes represented one third of the final result.
Speaking on the honour, the Argentine said, "It's a huge honour. I want to share this award with the people that voted for me and with my teammates. I'm very proud to have won the trophy three times, especially one after the other. It's hard to win one, let alone three."

A week ago, Brazilian football legend, Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, popularly called Pele stated that Santos striker, Neymar is technically better than Argentina’s Lionel Messi only that the former has a lot to improve if he wants to be considered world best player.
Reacting to that statement, Diego Maradonna, UAE Al Wasl coach who hasn’t been on good terms with Pele declared that the latter must have taken the wrong drugs when he made the statement. Though he acknowledged Neymar is good but he would never be able to match Messi’s records.
His words, “it seems Pele took the wrong medication. Instead of taking his night pill, he took the morning pill. He got confused and didn’t know what he was talking about. I suggest next time that he should take the right pills before making any suggestions and that he should change his doctor.”
