Neymar Officially Signed On With Barcelona
Neymar has officially joined Barcelona today with his massive presentation at the Camp Nou. If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you might remember a couple months ago I wrote a rant about Neymar and how much I hated him. Well, that might have changed; by listening to his press conference, he seemed like a really nice and humble guy. Honestly, maybe by playing in Europe and getting to watch him more I may come to like him. He seemed really genuine with all of his answers to journalists questions and seems extremely loyal to his new club. He must have reiterated 4 times that Messi is the best player in the world and all he wants to do is "just help him and the team". Also, by barely seeing him play at all, unless with Brazil, I extremely underrated him. I saw his career stats today, club and country, and they are just absolutely ridiculous. I don't remember the exact numbers, but out of about 275 goals, he either scored or assisted about 230 of them. I know most of them were in Liga do Brasil, a league not nearly as good as European leagues, but still a good league and those are unearth-like numbers. A lot of people are saying he and Messi can't coexist. I'm not really sure why anyone would think that. Messi and just about every winger he's played with work just fine together, why wouldn't the best winger of them all, Neymar, work well with Messi? Next season, I can easily see Barcelona have a terrifying offense if they didn't already. Fix up the defense a bit, build Neymar's and Messi's chemistry and this team could get revenge on Bayern in the Champions League. It will be a very interesting Barca season come August and Neymar's debut will be quite the spectacle.
