Introduction
Neymar da Silva Santos Junior has an incredibly vibrant biography. Putting it in one article will not be easy. Even a brief biography of Neymar is eventful in itself, so it will be difficult to briefly describe the career of this Brazilian geek. Debut in “Santos”, a bright transition to “Barcelona” and much more ... Neymar, whose biography is recorded below, is famous for its extravagance and incredible talent.
Young years in Brazil
Since 2003, Neymar began playing in the youth team of the Brazilian Santos, which is the supplier of Brazilian football players to the world market. After only five years, the Brazilian striker was transferred to the starting lineup of his native club. The biography of Neymar (the football player) says that in the same year he became the best young player of Paulista (the Brazilian league). The very next year, that is, at 18, he became the champion of São Paulo with Santos, and the list of his individual awards was replenished with the title of best player in the draw.
Neymar’s biography in Russian also contains information that the young Brazilian also managed to win the Brazil Cup, while becoming his top scorer. At that time, Neymar scored as many as 11 goals in the Cup! For all these achievements, the young child prodigy was named the best striker and player of the Brazilian Paulista, as well as the best in the entire Brazilian championship. In total, Neymar da Silva managed to conquer the gates of his rivals 42 times in 62 matches. Another achievement of the young Brazilian was the Puskas Prize for a magnificent pass and a goal against Flamengo. And this is not counting additional prizes, such as the Brazilian Golden Ball, Golden Boot and many others. Thus, the young talent was able to show everyone that he conquered Brazil at the age of 18. The next season was no less vivid for the young talent, as evidenced by his biography. Neymar helped Santos take the Copa Libertadores, which the Brazilian club could not get from the distant 1963. Thus, Neymar inscribed his name in the history of the Brazilian top club.
In his youth, Neymar, who had not even managed to play the first match for his hometown Santos, attracted the attention of clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea, Milan, Real Madrid and others. Many at that time began to call him "Little Robinho" due to dribbling and a large number of ordinary, but effective feints. At 14, Neymar ended up at the Real Academy, where he trained for some time. In order for the player to stay there, the Madrid Grand had to pay 60 million euros, which had to be given to Agent Neymar, that is, his father. The top club rejected this offer, and the Brazilian left Madrid.
Conquest of Europe
Next, Neymar spent two more incredibly bright years in his native Brazilian club, after which he decided to go to conquer Europe. Moreover, the 21-year-old Brazilian swung at the Spanish Grand “Barcelona”. In addition, even before the signing of the official contract, it was clear that Neymar would become the main player in the top club, the question was only about the transfer cost. Sparing no money for the young football player, “Barcelona” with ease and confidence gave the Brazilian “Santos” deserved 57 million euros. After his transition, it became clear that the total cost of Neymar was much higher, according to rumors, it ranged up to 95-97 million euros. However, this conflict was quickly hushed up, the Spanish club paid all taxes, and the money spent paid off.
More details about the two brightest seasons of Neymar are described below, but it is worth mentioning that in the 2014/2015 season, the talented and already joining the football team managed to take the treble with Barcelona - a victory in the Spanish Championship, Spanish Cup and Champions League. Recall, by that time, the Brazilian was only 23 years old.
Team Brazil
If you take his merits as a player in the national team, it is worth noting that there he shone very brightly. Starting even with the Brazilian national team, until the age of 17 he showed himself to be a capable, but individual player who enjoys the very process of circling his rivals. And already in the main national team of Brazil, Neymar showed himself not only as a reliable trader, but also as a skilled handler, able to pass the defense and give a competent transfer. At 18, he played the first match against the United States team, even having time to realize the moment. Three years later, he won the title of best football player in the Confederations Cup, which he also won. In four out of five matches he was the brightest player, for which he received the title of "Best Player of the Match".
2014 World Cup
Not bad Brazilian and held the World Cup, as evidenced by his biography. Neymar managed to get the “Bronze boot”, although he did not participate in the 1/2 finals match, as he was seriously injured after a clash with a player from the Colombian national team. The Brazilian team itself looked bright precisely due to the actions of the young Neymar, who literally pulled his team on his shoulders. In a match where he was not, Brazil loudly lost to Germany with a score of 7: 1.
The best seasons of "Little Robinho"
The brightest seasons for the football player were 2012 and 2014. In the 2012/13 season, Neymar only once again proved that he had nothing to do in Brazil, ahead of Robinho in the number of goals scored for “Santos”. Again, recall that the young striker was at that time only 21 years old! At the end of 2012, Neymar received the “Outstanding Game” prize, which only Pele had previously been awarded. With this title, the Brazilian proved once again that he is able to conquer Europe. After playing the 2013 season, the 21-year-old Brazilian went to Barcelona to show everyone his skills.
