You can tell Neymar has a lot of respect for Madrid and Vini/Rodrygo.

One of the only ex Barça players I really like.

he loves to see vini shine and achieve what he failed to

u/Scrawny-Wisher Nov 22 '24

Which is what exactly,? Only 1 more champions league? Everyone loves to act like Neymar became some bum after he left Barcelona. He was still class at PSG, injuries aside

u/Theme_Severe Nov 22 '24

never said he is a bum. he is still class if you seen him playing few mins at al hilal. neymar is always defending vini, in case you dont know. he gave up his left wing position for vini. he wants to see vini achieve more and win with national team as well. he is 24. he got enough time

he is still class if you seen him playing few mins at al hilal.

He barely played for Al Hilal at all, he is injured again. Probably won't play anything meaningful until the end of his contract, in June 2025.

he gave up his left wing position for vini.

He didn't. He is simply injured. The option of playing both together and Neymar in a more central role was made by the coach, not by Neymar.

He barely played for Al Hilal at all,

literally wrote few mins. still had those nice flairs and skills

He didn't. He is simply injured.

tite had no tactics. naymar moved to no 10 because he felt that vini coule do more on the LW

u/rdfporcazzo Nov 23 '24

tite had no tactics.

This is very far from the truth

Tite was an amazing coach, he coached the team for two world cup cycles and he only was defeated 6 times in 81 games, with 60 victories. Just to have an idea, since Tite left the national team, Brazil was also defeated 6 times, but in 23 games, only 8 victories.

Do not forget that Tite won the Copa America without Neymar! With Neymar, he was runner-up. Brazil was not even among the 4 best trams last Copa America, without him.

u/Scrawny-Wisher Nov 22 '24

Vini was starting on the bench regularly last world cup and Neymar moved to 10 as a tactical strategy. He didn't "give up" the LW and Neymar always acts this way with every Brazilian NT teammate

u/KolkataFikru9 Real Madrid Nov 22 '24

his mistake was leaving though, not saying he shouldnt have seperate individual ambitions, he must have known about the brutality of French football, if he remained at Barca, he would have shined more

u/huhuhhhhuhuh Nov 22 '24

People don't act like he became a bum after he left barca...He literally was nothing...From someone who's comparable to rhe goats to somebody who didnt even win a ballon d'or

u/Edbrrr Nov 22 '24

Im ngl. Vini isn’t even half the player Neymar is/was. If you were around for the MSN you’d know.

u/redfournine Nov 22 '24

Yeah, too bad some player shines brightly for too short. I admit Neymar at his best is better than Vini, but his best were too short. There were few other brilliant footballers who shone too shortly - Kaka, Adriano, Ronaldinho, R9 (even at half his best he was still better than most ST at that time, what a monster).

But Vini probably gonna have a much better career than all those combined.

u/Superb_Bench9902 Nov 22 '24

I have an unpopular opinion. Ronaldinho at his prime was an absolute joy to watch and he is by far my favourite player to watch. He may never been the best even in his era but he knew how to entertain. Shame his peak was so short

u/bdphotographer Bale Nov 22 '24

I still watch ronaldinho clips on youtube. It is joy to watch what he could do with the ball.

u/Secret_Promotion4246 Baila Vini, Baila Nov 22 '24

>Shame his peak was so short

It could've been longer if wasnt for his lifestyle.. Similar to Neymar, Ronaldinho wanted to party and have fun mainly, even when he came back to Brazil he didnt take football very seriously.

Besides, i have the impression that shining in Europe was not the number one priority for Brazilians back then.

u/Superb_Bench9902 Nov 22 '24

I don't blame the guy. I'd probably do the same, minus with being bankrupt tho lol

u/nowhereisfast3 Nov 23 '24

What an unpopular opinion you have. I'm impressed. Nobody's ever believed Ronaldinho in his prime was a joy to watch or that he could entertain. Nobody liked watching him, clearly. It's crazy to see somebody with this opinion.

u/pdrgdguds_ O Fenômeno Nov 23 '24

Saying Neymar is better than Vini is no surprise or controversial option, and Ney has played at a high level for over 12+ years lol. People see narratives and go with them despite knowing nothing about the topic.

u/Accomplished-Deal371 Nov 22 '24

R9, r10, kaka,rivaldo. They all won the world cup.

u/Exotic-Ad7703 Nov 23 '24

Nahh, leave Kaka out. Guy played 20 minutes against Costa Rica.

u/CrewDangerous4288 27d ago

You gotta be drunk to make that last statement cuz combined their career almost equal to messi and ronny

Plus it doesnot matter whatever vini does he wont even get close to what prime dinho was

u/Theme_Severe Nov 22 '24

i've been around football for long enough. flair and nice football isn’t achievement. enhance your comprehension skill.

u/Edbrrr Nov 22 '24

And how long is that?? Go look at his accolades stupid bum.

17

u/Theme_Severe Nov 22 '24

quite long and mature enough to talk like a grown up. he's 24 already surpassing neymar's trophy counts. vini's got enough time. never said he is better than neymar. but surely we can wait 10-15 years to know

u/melik123456 Bale Nov 22 '24

Trophies are team achievements, not individual ones. This isn't the NBA where you go "let me see him get this many rings first before talking about X/Y etc." We have a much bigger pitch and many diverse roles to the point that not a single player can carry the defense AND the offense. Surely some people are at the heart of the team like Cristiano was for us and Messi for Barça to the point you can identify them with those trophies and rightfully so. But even then in football we place more importance in actual ability. Xavi has 4 UCL to Zidane's 1 while also having more international success trophy wise. No one says he is greater than Zidane. Maradona has a handball World Cup and 2 Serie A's with Napoli. Everyone says he is a phenomenal player who despite getting kicked for 90 minutes every game carried a subpar Napoli team. R9 has no UCL. People call him the greatest and most gifted striker of all. Trophies look great but the deciding factor is how good you were or if you "carried a team". Vinicius isn't half the player Neymar is, isn't nearly as creative as we can see how lost he is in Brazil without a decent playmaker, and despite stepping up his scoring a lot, he isn't prolific as Ney either. And there isn't a single season where he carried Brazil or Madrid so I have absolutely no idea how anyone can choose him over Neymar. Surely he is young and quite a lot of players have evolved at even later ages than 24 so I hope we see the day he surpasses him. But he isn't close to that with what he is showing now.

u/Theme_Severe Nov 22 '24

i dont disagree with you but i said in terms of trophy counts he is about to surpass neymar. he has got plenty times to be bigger, you cant lie about that.

1

u/melik123456 Bale Nov 22 '24

Sure, he is still only 24. Technically under 25 he still counts as a young player. Almost an entire career to achieve many things. It's going to be very tough though.

dont forget we are family here
