Brazil manager Tite has said he considers Neymar a major force in world football, suggesting only Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo are on a higher level than the Paris Saint-Germain forward.
Neymar has endured a challenging 2019, as he missed a significant chunk of PSG’s season run-in due to injury, before a separate problem ruled him out of the Copa America, which Brazil went on to win on home soil.
Despite not playing a competitive game for his club this season, Tite still called up Neymar for the upcoming friendly matches against Colombia and Peru. Ahead of Friday’s clash with the former in Miami, Florida, Tite has talked up the talents of the 27-year-old, per Daniel Lewis of Goal:
“He has recovered from the injury that as everyone remembers removed him from the Copa America
“If he wasn’t fit, he wouldn’t be with the national team. We are not irresponsible to force a situation when it concerns the athlete’s health. Me and the coaching staff will be very attentive to his development. He is ready, he is capable of doing what the team needs.”
“…Fifty per cent of goals scored by Brazil with Neymar on pitch are because of his goals or an assist he makes. From individual technical quality, I put Lionel Messi on top and Cristiano Ronaldo, because they are of another generation.”
