Neymar is better than Messi, scores four goals as Brazil beat Japan 4-0 in Singapore

Brazil 4-0 Japan: Neymar scores four including perfect hat-trick to make it 40 in 58 internationals… at the age of just 22!

Neymar has Interesting talent, who is not yet the age of Messi or Ronaldo. He has got the potential and the ability as he made 40 in 58 internationals is a very good return, In fact could be a very interesting battle between Neymar and Hazard. Both 22 or around that number, look forward to watching them both fight it out, just like Ronaldo and Messi.

Neymar is better than Messi in my opinion! I like ballers with skill as well as technical ability.

MATCH FACTS

Brazil: Neymar,Jefferson; Danilo, Miranda, Elias, Willian, Gil, Filipe Luís; Luiz Gustavo, Oscar; Diego Tardelli

Goals: Neymar 18, 47, 77, 81

Japan: Kawashima, Ota, Sakai, Shiotani, Morishige, Tanaka, Taguchi, Morioka, Shibasaki, Okazaki, Kobayashi

Japan started brilliantly, and notwithstanding resting their most established stars such as Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa, the Blue Samurai caused Brazil some troubles in the first half.

But Neymar was a constant danger, easily assisted by Diego Tardelli, who looked to have gained confidence from his two goals against Argentina in Beijing, and was far more involved in the build-up play than in the Superclassico.

And it was from one such moment of combination that Brazil went ahead after 18 minutes.

Tardelli dropped deep and threaded a delightful ball through the Japan defence, and Neymar, quicker and stronger than his marker, collected it, before rounding keeper Eiji Kawashima and slotting home.

• Neymar puts Brazil ahead in Singapore after 18 minutes


• Brazilian captain Neymar doubles the lead early in the second half, before tucking home a rebound to complete hat-trick


• Neymar adds a fourth on 81 minutes with a towering header


• Striker ‘Neymar’ now has 40 goals in 58 international appearances 


• Barcelona star had already rattled the crossbar with brilliant free kick


• Former Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa and Milan star Keisuke Honda left on the bench for Japan

Neymar once again stole the show by scoring four goals – including a perfect hat-trick- as Brazil continued their strong start under new manager Dunga by sweeping aside Japan in Singapore.

Just three days after Brazil saw off Argentina in the Superclasico de las Americas, Neymar, the country’s 22-year-old captain and talisman, was unstoppable after opening the scoring in the first half.

The striker put in a superb display and his quartet of goals included one with his left foot, one with his right foot and one with his head.

BRAZIL’S LEADING SCORERS

Neymar is only 22, but he’s already fifth on the all-time list of Brazil goalscorers…and he has 23 assists as well!

Pele           77

Now in India, I hope some players would learn to become like him. The ISL are presently rocking and people have much more interest now in football than ever.
