Either Pele is only every allowed by journalists to appraise modern football through the prism of his own achievements, or he actively drives all interviews in that direction. I can't tell which it is.
But it's lethally tedious reading him blather on about whether the current It Player is equal to his own, or Maradona's greatness.
Anyway, I know from highlights reels that Neymar is a special prospect, but is it wise to build up such a massive, prolonged circus around a guy so unproven outside the Americas? Doubtful. Get him out to a European club and then see how he turns out.
