» Neymar: "Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol and an inspiration to me"

Neymar has spoken a few words about the
Olympics games and the opportunity of
winning the football's gold medal for Brazil,
for the first time in the country's history.
However, there was still time for the Brazilian
prodigy to share a couple thoughts on
Cristiano Ronaldo and confess his admiration
for the Real Madrid star.
There seems to be a wide consensus about
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi being the
undisputed best players in the World for a few
years now. The Brazilian rising star, Neymar Jr,
doesn't have any problem in recognizing that he's
still far from both CR7 and Messi level, even
though he also hopes to reach the top in a near
future. Currently representing the Brazilian
National Team in the London Olympics 2012,
Neymar has high expectations for this Saturday's
final against Mexico, as this could be the first
time Brazil brings the gold medal in Olympics
football.
Neymar - 2012/2013:
In a short talk with some journalists that were
present at a press conference in London, to
preview this Saturday final between Brazil and
Mexico, Neymar started by leaving a few remarks
on Cristiano Ronaldo.
Neymar: "Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol to me and
I follow him closely since I started playing
football. He's a genius, one of the best players in
the World and he's on the same level as Lionel
Messi. For all of us who love football, Cristiano
Ronaldo is a true inspiration!", started by noting
the 20-years old talent, just before answering a
few questions about the upcoming Olympics
football final.
Neymar: "Winning a gold medal is always an
hard task, if not, Brazil would already have 20
medals. We're very close to achieve something
that several great names of this sport never
accomplished. We're here representing everyone
of them and all the Brazilians out there, who are
eager to see us bringing the gold medal home.
We're 90 minutes away from making history and
we're aware of that responsability. We all know
what's at stake this Saturday and how important
this game is", assured the still Santos FC forward.
Neymar: "I've never played at Wembley before,
which is definitely a place with a great history
behind. Unfortunately, neither Pelé has done it
and he is the best football player in history.
Returning home with the silver medal wouldn't be
a frustration, but rather a sadness. Now that we've
reached the final, we can't settle for the silver
medal, we have to be hungry for those golden
medal that are at stake. In any final, there can be
only one side winning the gold medal!", stated
Neymar Jr, who is very likely to be starring on
Brazil's line-up, this Saturday afternoon.
Regarding Neymar's future and despite the
immensity of rumors coming out over the last
months, it seems like the Brazilian is going to
remain playing in Santos FC for at least one or
two more seasons. As a curiosity, in a voting poll
we promoted here at Ronaldo7.net asking "Who
should Real Madrid sign for the attack the
Summer?", Neymar has actually been the first
choice for most of our visitors.
