Genius is a word commonly used to describe Neymar. He possesses a unique talent, and his joyful and vibrant style of football amazes fans all over the world. The most marketable player on the planet began his professional career at the tender age of 17 at Santos Football Club, the same team that introduced Pelé to the world. Often compared to ‘The King Of Football’, the Brazilian star recently debuted at Barcelona, where he plays alongside greats like Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta. With more exposure now than ever, Neymar carries the burden of being an idol of a young generation and the hope of the Brazilian nation for the 2014 World Cup. Neymar’s willingness and skill to face a tough schedule of matches, training and other appointments have made him a phenomenon, but this cannot be explored without mentioning his father, Neymar Senior, who manages his son’s career and guarantees his success with a mix of professionalism and paternal love.
