Neymar, the new recruit for Barcelona, expressed his ambition to leave his mark on the club in an interview given to the Catalan club’s website. The Brazilian striker is determined to make a positive impact, but he is careful not to compare himself to the legendary Ronaldinho, who won the Ballon d’Or in 2005.
In acknowledging Ronaldinho’s unparalleled influence and historical significance for Barcelona and the Brazilian national team, Neymar stated that he is only beginning to write his own story. The young attacker, known for his distinctive Iroquois crest, is aware of the legacy he is stepping into but is focused on creating his own path.
Neymar recalled being impressed by Barcelona’s simplicity of play during the Club World Cup final in 2011 when his former club Santos suffered a 4-0 defeat. He highlighted Barcelona’s pursuit of goals and the beauty of their game, expressing admiration for the team’s style of play that left everyone, including Santos players, in awe.
