Incredible this Generation is bless
All the records of old are been broken or rewritten

Messi, Ronaldo ,Neymey etc

In the words of Neymey


"I want to say that this (the record) doesn’t mean I am better than him (Pelé) or than any national team player,” Neymar added in his short statement. “I always wanted to write my story in the national team, and today I did that.”

So guys how will you rate Neymey When legend's are mentioned

Has he really lived up to the expectation

PINKY: It's "Neymar"


BRAIN: Not "Neymey"

Dexy4yah:
He's never under pressure.
He does anything he likes with the ball.

He displays his skills at any given time.


Congrats finest baller

I swear.
Just like Ronaldinho and jay jay
They see football as fun…they will be playing And laughing….they play football for the fun of it not because they want to break records or whatever.

Neymar beats Pele’s record to become Brazil’s all-time top scorer


Neymar became Brazil’s all-time top scorer with his goal against Bolivia on Friday taking him to 78 goals and surpassing Pele’s record.

Neymar became the top goal scorer for Brazil’s national team after surpassing the total of three-time World Cup winner Pelé on Friday.

The goal that put the 31-year-old Neymar on the top of Brazil’s scoring record with 78 came in the 61st minute in a World Cup qualifying match against Bolivia in the Amazon city of Belém.


It was Brazil’s fourth goal of the match in a 5-1 win, with the last goal of the game also being scored by Neymar — his 79th — during injury time.

Neymar’s record-breaking goal came after a low cross into the penalty box, which the striker finished with accuracy from close range. He celebrated with a punch in the air, as Pelé usually did.

“I am very happy, no words for this,” Neymar said in brief comments to media after he was handed a plaque by the president of the Brazilian football confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues. “I never thought I would reach this record.”

Earlier, the Al-Hilal striker missed a penalty in the 17th minute, which goalkeeper Billy Viscarra saved. Neymar’s second goal in the match came in similar fashion near the final whistle, with another low cross by Raphinha.

Brazil’s football confederation considers Pelé as its top goal scorer with 95 goals in 114 matches. FIFA does not count goals that Pelé had at national team friendlies against clubs.


“78 times Neymar,” the Brazilian football body said on social media after Neymar’s record-breaking goal. “Neymar scores the fifth for the Selecao,” it said after the striker’s second goal against Bolivia.

Rodrigues, the president of Brazil’s football body, reiterated Neymar had become “the all-time top goal-scorer for Brazil in matches against national teams.”

Pelé’s Foundation, however, acknowledged Neymar’s achievement.

“Congratulations, Neymar Jr, for surpassing the King in goals for the Brazilian National Team in official FIFA matches,” it said on social media. “Surely Pelé is applauding you today!”

Pelé died from cancer on December 29 in Sao Paulo at the age of 82.

“I want to say that this (the record) doesn’t mean I am better than him (Pelé) or than any national team player,” Neymar added in his short statement. “I always wanted to write my story in the national team, and today I did that.”

Neymar’s most-recent match for Brazil before the victory over Bolivia was the World Cup quarterfinal loss last year to Croatia. He left Qatar with doubts about his future in the national team and did not play the Selecao’s first three games this year.

New Brazil coach Fernando Diniz said Neymar came to play for Brazil “to score goals, break records, show that he is very much willing to live this (the national team.)”

“He is a great hero,” Diniz said. “People have to recognize it and accept it. He doesn’t do anything to get this adoration he gets from the crowd. It is because of the natural talent he has.”

And yet no single Trophy/World Cup compared to the great Pele.
@Pele 3 World Cup Trophies for the Selecao.

yes oo Pele, Socrates, cerezo, Romario, R9, Carlos, Cafu, dinho, neymar,

Garrincha, Bebeto, Rivaldo, Zico, Dunga, Adriano, Ze Roberto, Juninho etcetera.

Most Brazilian players were household names back in the days.

Nazgul:
Injury just wasted Neymar's career. Ever since he left Barca, he lost touch with the game. In my opinion, he deserved to win the Ballo 'dor

It was Listening to Bad Advice. 😒😕

Anti-Messi Fans deceived him, that Messi is blocking his Progress, at Barca!.

If he stayed in Barca, Messi would have left by 2019, 2020
And he would have the King of the Team!

Wodu89:
Neymar the football pitch swimmer

In his time, Brazil will not win the World Cup.

The samba Boyz needs another hero

Neymar is not even up to Rivaldo's Level, not to Talk of Ronaldo delima or Ronaldinho.

He is not even at Romario's Level.

These Guys were STARmen for Barca and Brazil.🙂

Ronaldo scored a then Record 34 La Liga goals for Barca in 1996/1997 season.
Rivaldo was Legendary at Barca and won World Best in 1999.
Romario was Barca's Best player in the Early 90's and scored 5goals in USA 1994 world cup.🙂

Neymar is Not these Guys mates.😏

Neymar is same Bracket with Kaka or Denilson.😕
