He is far from being a Brazilian football hero, but Neymar Jr is Brazil’s Second Highest Goalscorer of all time.

The PSG superstar surpassed Ronaldo Nazario on Tuesday October 12, 2020. But Neymar Jr, 28, will not be remembered as a successful striker unless he wins a World Cup with his country Brazil.

It’s official to state that only the legendary Pele is ahead of Neymar in Brazil’s goalscoring record books.

The PSG forward converted 2 penalties and struck a late tap-in winner against Peru to clear the path for Brazil in the Qatar 2022 world cup. 

Brazilians started their journey towards Qatar 2022 with a perfect 6 points from 6 games.  Neymar Jr now occupies a history chapter in Brazil.

Why Neymar Jr is Brazil’s Second Highest Goalscorer of All Time

Ney’s hat-trick against Peru saw him usurp Ronaldo as Brazil’s second-highest scorer. Neymar boasts an incredible 64 goal mark, and still counting. He only made his national debut 10 years ago (2010).

It’s no exaggeration — national achievements are vital for classifying a player as a huge success. Stars like Pele and Ronaldo have firmly printed their names on Brazilians for Generations — their World Cup victories pushed them that far.

Undoubtedly, Neymar Jr is the finest Brazilian of his generation. He is also one of the most talented Brazilian footballers alive today.

Coach Tite of Brazil wasted no time in rating Neymar as master class.

“Every generation has its own values. Ronaldo was extraordinary, Rivaldo was extraordinary, Romario and Bebeto too, each one in his own time,” Tite praised Neymar.

“It is unfair to make comparisons. All I can say is that Neymar is very unpredictable. He’s a player that not only gives you assists but also goals, and with an ever larger level of maturity.”

Neymar Jr Achievements vs Pele and Ronaldo & Orei

Hopefully, Neymar Jr will soon surpass Pele’s tally of 77 national goals, and become Brazil’s all-time top scorer outright. But unlike Pele, Ronaldo and O Rei, the PSG forward lacks tangible international success.

O Re won 4 World Cup titles, and none will probably match him. But some people would argue that Neymar’s achievements with Brazil can match up to Ronaldo, Romario, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho.

The above legends are world champions, except Neymar. But in terms of pure numbers, Neymar has already passed them, and in record time.

Gareth Southgate to Manchester United Doesnt’ Make Sense

Published

on

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time

The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best

The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss

Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.

ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.

People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.

Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.

SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.

How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?

More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.

Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.

It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.

Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track

Published

Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!

Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.

The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy

Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.

Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.

I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.

 

Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.

This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons

The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.

From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
