You need a bit of light in the glooming valley of darkness sometimes. Neymar certainly needs it these days. Growing up in the era of Ronaldo and Rivaldo, the Brazilian did develop high skills. However, several injuries hindered the career of Neymar. However, that did not stop a world-class player from acknowledging the Brazilian as the strongest.

Growing up as a player with high speed, the trickster joined Santos Academy and stole the show since his debut. Neymar even had a great start to his career, winning exceptional trophies in club soccer. However, his international career took a stroll. Yet, he gets some respite from Kyle Walker, who gave him his flowers. 

Premier League-winning player calls Neymar his toughest opponent

It will be hard to disagree that when the former Barcelona man plays, he always brings a spark into the game. The way he dribbles past players epitomizes everything good about him. One of the best defenders in the Premier League, Kyle Walker, testified to this. 

In a recent show with Sky Sports, the Premier League winner said, “Neymar just brings something where nothing is ever the same. You can watch the clips on other players, and you know their movements, or you know their patterns.” “I think Neymar plays like he is in the school playground.”

Walker, who faced Neymar in the UEFA Champions League, explains that the Brazilian always brings something new into the game. The right-back stated that the Brazilian’s quick movements cannot be foreseen. The 33-year-old points out a distinction between Neymar and other players, saying that you can watch the clips of other players and learn what they do. And how they move. But Neymar makes it look so easy like he’s playing on a school ground and doing what he likes, explained Walker.

Kyle Walker, valued at $35 million, has been Manchester City’s cornerstone at the back, helping the team to win the treble last season. The Englishman won 15 trophies under Pep Guardiola and is also the fastest player in the Premier League, averaging 37.31 mph. The player, however, credits Neymar as his troublesome competitor. But the Brazilian is now out with an injury. 

Neymar’s injury is his biggest enemy

Neymar has been injured quite a lot of times in his career. But his recent ACL and left Meniscus injury will keep him away for some time. The talisman has missed some crucial moments, like the 2019 Copa America, which could have given him an international trophy.

The City defender also backed his teammate Erling Haalnd to win the Ballon d’Or instead of Neymar’s old teammate and friend Lionel Messi. Thus, do you think Neymar is a tricky winger?
