Neymar Names Former Teammate as Toughest Opponent
In a recent interview with VIVA Sport, Brazilian superstar Neymar revealed that his toughest opponent on the pitch wasn’t a fierce rival from another club, but a former teammate: Thiago Silva.
The two players shared the pitch for both Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team, developing a deep understanding of each other’s skills.
However, when asked who presented the biggest challenge as an opponent, Neymar pointed to the veteran defender Silva.
This choice adds an interesting layer to their relationship. Despite playing together, Neymar clearly recognizes Silva’s defensive prowess and the difficulty he presents as an opponent.
