Corinthians defender Gil believes his Seleção team-mate Neymar is better than Lionel Messi.
The 27 year-old centre-back concedes that he has never played against Messi, but feels Neymar is a more complete player.
“I’ve never played against Messi but I’ve faced Neymar several times,” he admitted in an interview with ESPN sports.
“With Neymar we are talking about a complete player who gets involved with the team’s play, shoots well with both feet and is very fast.
“I honestly think he is a more complete player than Messi.”
