I absolutely love watching Neymar play football. They don't make them like that anymore. His relative inexperience in certain situations was shining through a few times though. There was a moment right at the end of the game; I think the clock showed 122 minutes. Pinilla hit the bar and Brazil countered through Neymar who ran almost the length of the field. He ended up passing to Hulk on his right side and Brazil grabbed one last corner. If he had passed to his left instead Willian would have been clean one on one with the goalkeeper.
It really irked me that he had no idea there was another player coming up behind him. It would have been the crowning moment of the game and something that would have more or less guaranteed him player of the tournament.
Yeah, I agree. I don't know why I just felt an urge to compare him to Messi who at a similar age (actually at 21) was dominating a Champions League final against United and scoring with his head. It was just moments like the one you described and the ones Y va is referring to, which just show he has that little bit more to do.
He is a joy to watch though.
