"Overrated": a Brazilian historical point against Neymar

The wound of losing a final at home has not yet healed in Brazil. The Argentine team won the title after 28 years of drought by winning 1-0 with a goal from Ángel Di María. In this regard, one of those targeted by the defeat by critics was Neymar, who in recent days received another dart from a historic Verdeamarelha.

Luis Antonio Correa da Costa, popularly known as Muller, was one of the most successful strikers in Brazil and part of the legendary Sao Paulo in Brazil in 1993. But in a dialogue on TNT Sports he had no problem criticizing the player who emerged in Santos: “Neymar it's overrated. It is not worth all that money that PSG paid because they never won the Ballon d'Or ”.

In addition, he questioned its quality and took it out of the lot of great players in football today: “The greats can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Cristiano and Messi are because they have shown it on the field. Neymar is more valued off the field than on”, he said harshly.

Neymar had a great tournament and was chosen as the best footballer of the tournament along with his friend, Lionel Messi, after scoring two goals and giving three assists in the six games he played with Brazil in the Copa América. However, his poor performance in the final led to him being the target of the media.
