Neymar has insisted that Brazil will get better in the weeks and months ahead after Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side battled to a 2-2 draw against England at the Maracanã on Sunday.

Paulinho’s late volley salvaged a draw for the hosts after goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wayne Rooney had put England in front, following Fred’s opener.

The result means the Seleção have only won one of their eight last games ahead of the upcoming Confederations Cup, but Neymar is confident improvements will come.

The 21-year-old said: “It was a good match in terms of what we did on the pitch and the opportunities we created.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t score during the first half spell of pressure. But now we can only get better, we will improve further.

“Every player in the squad has the quality to make important contributions for the team. Of course, I will be happier if I can get more touches on the ball, but as a team we are getting better.

“We are getting to know each other, understanding how the other players move on the pitch and the positions they take up.

“During the first half you all saw the amount of movement and the one-twos we displayed. We will get better.”

Brazil face France in a friendly next Sunday before their Confederations Cup action gets underway against Japan on June 15.

Neymar is currently in Spain to finalise his transfer from Santos and will be officially unveiled as a Barcelona player later on Monday.
