“He is a different kind of player, a star. A youngster with talent,’ said the former Real Madrid boss. “If you give him space, he can make a lot happen.
“What we can’t do is over-commit and get into trouble.”
Léo Moura, Flamengo’s dependable right-back also expressed his wish that the players avoid crossing the line to deal with Neymar.
