The Brazilian defender believes that the Barcelona forward is already appreciated as a ‘great name’ in world football.
In an interview with SporTV.com, the Chelsea player threw his support behind his teammate ahead of next month’s World Cup.
“Neymar is a great name that has been on the rise for a while. He has already established his name in football and everyone hopes he can get to the top, as other Brazilians have.
“He will have a great opportunity to play at home in the World Cup. Neymar does not need to prove anything to anyone.”
