I turned away from the tv once the game was over but then looked up and saw police pushing penarol players off the pitch. Crazy!

Ganso was non-existant in this game. I'll give him a pass since it was his first game back from injury. I know for sure in the first half there was a play where he was running fast to get back on defense and he was hobbling the whole way. Unless he normally runs like a gimp, then he played injured. Strange that the coach would play him.

But Neymar is unreal. He was causing so much trouble for penarol's defense. He was relentless! Constant pressure. All kinds of flicks and tricks. He's clearly world class. Sell Pato and Ibra and get him. I'm not kidding - he was THAT impressive!

He kept the game moving quickly by playing 1-2 touch football and still managing to create a couple great opportunities. Very quick thinking on the ball and didn't have a single missplaced pass in the first half. Not that I remember at least. However his second half disPlay was below par. And toward the end he just looked tired. Which is a acceptable for a player thats coming back from an injury and taking a part in such a physical game.

Neymar is a very talented player. Obvious quality. But he needs to be more efficient with his time on the ball. Plays too vertical and always looks to dribble even when the opportunity is not there. Which results in him losing the ball way too much at times. Imagine him at Barca, where everyone works so hard to get the ball back. And then give it to Neymar who tries to dribble every single time and loses possession. Barca players would be furious. I'm just saying that as an example. Neymar is obviously great like I said. The skill and talent is undeniable. He's almost surely destined to be a great. But that will only happen if he changes his game. But he is just a kid and there is a
long time for him to grow.

Edit: my bad. Hitman already said it. So I should have just agreed. Was a bit late with the post. Haha
