Questions about the Brazilian superstar did not wait, and the president of Santos reviewed the current influence of Neymar in Brazilian football and the reason for trying to keep him at home the coming years. "I have a very strong commitment to the truth. Neymar The issue was basic. Has incredible potential, it is one of a kind.

If you run now, the Saints will become the third team with the most fans in Brazil, behind Flamengo and Corinthians. All the fans of Brazil's devotion to him and that is a priceless heritage for Barça and so we made every possible sacrifice for continuity rejecting offers even millions, "said Santos president Neymar that compared with" a character in Play Station ".

Unaware that Barça had such quality. Except on television, had not attended the practice of his game. After four minutes of seeing the Barca play and play ball and I knew we would lose the match. We were all mesmerized by the touch of Barcelona and we were dead, "he said.

Luis Alvaro surprised to recognize that the intention to register the exfutbolista Pelé to play in the Club World Cup was absolutely real. "If I could, I would have handled the schedule time to take Pele World Cup clubs. I also thought of making a two against two, with Pele and Neymar on the one hand, and Messi and Maradona on the other.

Luis Alvaro also praised the treatment by Sandro Rosell in the approach by Neymar. "Sandro directly treated me in a friendly farewell Ronaldo. I have a good impression of him. He speaks a great Portuguese, is a gentleman and we understand very well. I gave her freedom to speak with the player. Then I was sent an emissary to Initially sales started and told him no. "

Different feelings were left from Real Madrid, to begin to "lay siege" to the Santos. "Real Madrid started its siege with an invitation from Ronaldo for a drink.

The good news is that Neymar not go to Madrid. The bad news is that not going to Barca," he said on his message to Barca president in an issue that directly called "competition" between the two 'big' in the Liga.

Sandro sympathies have no influence on future negotiations. In 2014 the contract will be free and in August will be free to sign for the club sees fit," he said.

"I would like Neymar, if you will, was the club where you feel at home and enjoy playing," said Luis Alvaro, who would not get wet on possible preferences. However, they sent a small nod to the boat to the state that would like to avoid a case similar to the relative failure of Robinho in the old continent. "I would not do it like Robinho, who spoiled in Europe to try to change their characteristics," he said.
