Neymar bio and highlights –FIFA World Cup 2014: Brazil's star to watch Live
February 5 is apparently a fetish date in football. Like Carlos Tevez
and Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar da Silva Santos Junior was born on this
date, 22 years ago in Mogi das Cruzes. The Brazilian tasted fame and
fortune at a young age, making social media his home with popular
Youtube videos which earned him worldwide comparisons with legends
Ronaldinho and Pele.
At only 19, Neymar made shockwaves on the football scene and landed
the South American Footballer of the Year award in 2011 and 2012. Having
developed at Portuguesa Santista (1999-2003) and Santos (2003-2009)
before clinching a professional contract with the later, Neymar was
immediately handed the challenge to prove himself in Europe.
After shining at the 2013 Confederations Cup with Brazil, the
Brazilian star completed a controversial and hugely hyped transfer from
Santos FC to FC Barcelona in summer.
However, he did not leave behind his reputation of being a diver.
Neymar loves social media and he has gathered a huge amount of fans and
anti-fans as well.
