Neymar is one of the most talented footballers of his generation and was once viewed as the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s throne.Sao Paulo-born was a part of a world-record transfer when he left Barcelona in 2017, in which the Saints of Paris paid almost 265 million USD (28.6 billion KSH)Currently in native Brazil, trying to defend the Copa America title with his national team, Neymar was asked by Oh my Goal which players does he consider technically better than him.Ten-man Brazil edge Chile 1-0 to set Copa America semi-final with PeruSome names you would expect, some not really. Either way the players he mentioned are sure those you would love to have in your fantasy team.After speaking about his own fantastic technical ability, Neymar listed Lionel Messi, Eden Hazard, Marco Verratti, Kevin De Bruyne and Thiago Alcantara as those who are also superior on the ball.“More technical than me? I don’t know if I can answer that! With all the humility in the world, I consider myself one of the most technical players in football today.” Neymar said. “Messi, Verratti, Hazard, De Bruyne, I’m still missing one? “More technical than me…Thiago!” he added.Bruyne played with ligament tear but couldn’t stop Italy, Spain survived a penalty scare to face NerrazzuriThere is of course the question of what technicality in football is for Neymar because some of these players are more static (Verratti, Thiago) but can do wonders with the distribution and getting passed their defenders in a single simple move.On the other hand, some of the players are gifted with numerous tricks and explosiveness that can eliminate defenders in full speed runs (Neymar, Hazard). Middle ground is populated by Messi and De Bruyne who can cover both areas equally.If someone who is as good and as confident as Neymar lists you alongside him tricks-wise – it should be quite a proudful moment in anyone’s football career.
