The PSG superstar has attempted to create the ultimate footballer by piecing together specific traits of some of the world’s finest players.
Neymar has revealed his “perfect player” is a combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sergio Ramos, N’Golo Kante, and Marco Verratti.
Ronaldo and Messi remain as influential as ever for their respective teams, with both in contention to win this season’s European Golden Boot with 29 and 30 league goals respectively.
The only one having an edge over the mercurial pair in the race for the prestigious award is Lewandowski, with the Bayern Munich marksman having an outrageous tally of 40 goals in just 28 Bundesliga games.
Widely considered as the rightful heir to the throne of the Portuguese phenomenon and the amazing Argentine, Mbappe was also picked by his teammate due to his lightning-fast pace.
“Oh man…the perfect player?!” Neymar said ahead of the latest edition of Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five, as Goal reports.
“[Should I consider myself or not?] I can consider myself, good.
“I think the physicality of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic’s elasticity, the heading game of Sergio Ramos, Mbappe’s speed, left leg of Messi, my right foot, [Robert] Lewandowski’s positioning, the tackling of [N’Golo] Kante and the creativity in the midfield of [Marco] Verratti.”
