Once the star of the Catalonian club, the Flamengo midfielder told Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, about the great threat that Neymar will pose on his former club at this year’s Club World Cup in Japan if both sides can reach the final.
“They have to pay close attention to Neymar. He’s a fantastic player with great quality and impressive dribbling,” said Ronaldinho.
Despite the praise for his fellow countryman, the Flamengo captain admitted his former Argentinian team mate is better than the Santos forward.
“Neymar and Messi are two great players, but Leo is number one, he’s the best in the world.”
