Although the striker is surely aware of his own ability, he was quick to build up some of the league’s other top talents.
“I’m not the best of the Brazilian Championship,” said the 19-year-old hot-shot. “There are other players such as Montillo, Liedson and Adriano…”
Neymar, having dedicated each of his four goals to his family, his son, the press and the fans respectively, was also grateful for his female fans who have made their presence felt at recent games.
“Of course I hear the girls screaming when I’m on the field. I can only thank them for their love,” said the attacker, grinning broadly.
Neymar is now the sixth highest scorer in the club’s post-Pelé history, although may find his season cut short this week after punishment for his recent red-card for dissent is announced.
