Former Brazil international: Neymar is still immature, he is used to being sought after and self-promotion

August 7th, Santos defeated Juventus Tud 3-1 in the 18th round of the Brazil League, and Neymar scored double. In this game, members of the Brazilian national team coaching staff watched the game on the spot, and when Neymar talked about this topic after the game, he said that he did not need to prove anything to anyone. Neymar's remarks were criticized.

Former Brazil international Zee Elias said: "Nemar still lacks the maturity to understand certain things. His answer sounds like a person who is sought after by thousands of people and follows him. He is used to this state. That question became a chance for Neymar to promote himself. He said, 'I'm fine, I feel good, I've played all the games in five consecutive games, and I'm improving every day'.

"But Neymar is not mature enough to really understand this problem because he feels that everyone is doubting him and questioning him. There is always a mentality of 'I'm going to fight you', but it's not the case at all.

"The coaching team members are just doing their own jobs, and many of them want to see Neymar perform well again and observe his importance to the team. But now Neymar feels like living in a bubble, he is 33 years old, and he should objectively understand his importance to the outside world, not just to himself, because sometimes he only talks with himself.

"Neymar can still be a key player in Brazil, but may not be as prominent as before. In my opinion, Neymar is the last great genius after Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldo, and his improvisational ability is extremely special. He can think of one action in a moment and perform another. But Neymar still lacks maturity. ”
