Name: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior



INFO: (Outdate)

Spoiler: show

After joining the squad in 2003, Neymar eventually made his Santos debut against Oeste on 7 March 2009 in a 2-1 win at the age of 17, Neymar's next appearance was against Mogi Mirim a week later, during which he scored his first goal for Santos. On 11 April 2009, in the 2009 Campeonato Paulista semi-final first leg against Palmeiras, Neymar scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 win at Estádio Vila Belmiro. In the final however, Neymar failed to perform to his full ability, and Santos crashed out to Corinthians in a 4-2 aggregate loss.

Neymar's performances for Santos and his likeliness to Brazilian idols such as Robinho and Pelé, the former who he currently plays alongside at Santos, began to attract interest from many clubs such as Manchester United, Internazionale, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, with Real Madrid even going as far as to claim that they had signed a pre-contract agreement with Neymar's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, which Santos fervently denied. Following this, Santos slapped an asking price of €30 million on the player's head, and tied Neymar down to a new contract lasting until December 2014. Neymar himself said he didn't think it was time to leave Santos, and that he was only focused on the club.

On 15 April 2010, Neymar scored 5 goals for Santos in a 8-1 routing of Guarani in the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup. Following the 2010 Campeonato Paulista in which Neymar scored 14 goals in 19 games, the club were crowned champions after a 5-5 aggregate win over Santo André in the finals. Neymar was given the award for the best player, due to his brilliant performances in the competition. His debut in NT was in August in a 2-0 victory against USA, Neymar also scored the oppening goal. In 2010 he scored 36 goals in 54 games.

In 2011 he was called to play Sulamericano Sub-20 in Peru.

Kinda hard to say since we've saw just a little of what is capable of.... I would rise his DA to 81~83 ( it's his main asset really), lower his Shot power to 70 and distribute those 6 points into shot accuracy and technique, so he would get 75 on both... His shot is very weak atm, he always goes for placed shots. I believe that we will raise his passing stats and technique soon as well, but let's wait and see.

[tamaguchi_japa]

agree with DA, SA and ST
he´s shoot isn´t that weak, can be 72-73

EDIT: he plays in both sides

[.Maguss.]

Isn't he played just 1 or 2 games as professional? Don't think this is enough to rate him well.

[tamaguchi_japa]

he played 4 games and scored 2 goals

[UTDFAN94]

scored in a big match against palmeiras

i would agree with an increase in DA,not sure about how much,ill have to watch him more

[Paddy]

He is MUCH faster than this.

SPECIAL HABILITIES:
* DRIBBLING

SPEED STATS: His Speed/Acceleration seems to be some of his great qualities, along with his dribbling skills. Have a style of running similar to Robinho, great speed, burn acceleration.
DRIBBLING STATS: Agility as first post, but Dribble Accuracy deserves an adjust. He has the ball close at his feet even at high speeds, I think we can rate on pair with Nilmar. A small update on Dribble Speed too, he don't lose any speed with the ball.
PASSING STATS: A small boost in passing stats, he made some crosses and his pass are pretty accurate.
AGGRESSION STAT: Above yellow's? We are crazy!

[tamaguchi_japa]

agree with pedala stats with rafzin suggestions, except TS and ACC

[pedala robinho]

I gave him a small update, based in the last discussions.

[prosser2k10]

Should he have SS as his position? I thought he was a Winger.

[tamaguchi_japa]

Probably, he play in same position as messi play in barça, like a WF or SS. Suggest: WF, SS, AMF, SMF

[pedala robinho]

He gained 7kgs, he's weighting 61kg now. Probably soon he will get another update, as he's making a work with nutritionists to gain muscles.

[ThaReaper01]

23 appearances, 23 goals? Damn.

[rafzin]

He will be higher than Robinho in next years.

[ThaReaper01]

You mean better or...

[rafzin]

better or superior.
