Since already it had very clear that wanted to be one of the best footballers of the world, and fixed in people that respected, first in his father, and afterwards in idols of the modern sport like Robinho, Leo Messi, LeBron James, Usain Bolt and a long etcetera.

"There is not pressure when you do what masters and are prepared to do it"
It replaced of the setback and could finish the career winning a medal, although it was not the one of gold. "Vanderlei Is an example for me. Where all would see a defeat, he breathed the victory. Has all my respect", explains Neymar, that wishes to arrive until the final of the Olympic games of River 2016.
