Neymar praises Ronaldinho and Mbappe

CAIRO – 20 October 2017: Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain's new Brazilian star, scored one of PSG's goals when the team thrashed Anderlecht 4-0 in the final day of the 2017/2018 Champions League.

A goal that he scored from a foul was similar to one Ronaldinho once scored with FC Barcelona. Neymar put the ball under the barrier of the Anderlecht players.

Neymar, when asked in the mixed press zone about the execution of the foul, said "Ronaldinho must be happy. I always learn from the best."

"Ronaldinho was very intelligent, but I did not think about him in the match, and then I realized that my fault was very similar to the one he pitched, almost the same: the barrier. But at the last minute, I decided to change," explained Neymar after the game.

In the same interview, Neymar again praised his partner Kylian Mbappé, scorer of another goal. "He is a golden child, who is at a high level. He's a great player; he has all the qualities to become a big name in the world of football. I'm a big fan of him and I'll help as much as possible. I hope I can do for him the same as Messi did for me," Neymar said.
