Great, looks like he finally learned to pass the ball and not run on his own!

He ain't gonna oust Messi that's for sure. Should have went to Juve were there was no danger of him feeling too much pressure.

I think he would have more pressure at Juve than he would at Barcelona. At Barcelona Messi is their top player and the person the fans will rely on to produce that bit of magic to make the difference in big games.. with that in mind the pressure won't be as high on Neymar. At Juve he'd be the main star. Then again Neymar will have that pressure next year regardless at the world cup.

there is a downside to what you just said. if neymar doesn't produce the goods as often as messi due to their being less pressure, barca fans will label him a flop coz what good is he if messi is still doing more.

a player like neymar is expected to be as good or as close to messi as possible, pressure or not.

i really hope he succeeds at barca <even though im a real supporter>. i seen him play in the olympics and from there already you could see the talent. i just hope he gets to be comfortable knowing its not all about him like it was at santos and that he can learn to share the spotlight. but i suppose that will come as he matures.

What Kingpin said. Even if he clocks up a third of what Messi scores he will still be considered a flop, which is sad but true. Look at David Villa and Sanchez. Both quality forwards who got left in the dust behind Messi.

Just like how Ronaldinho ousted Messi?

unless Messi goes to jail in September :L

I find that surprising too.. I remember when he was like 22. >.>

There's a bright future for this kid if he works hard enough and learns to be very disciplined. He has been outstanding in the Confederations Cup and I could see him and Messi making some amazing plays together.
