"Neymar already world's best" : Pele

[UN talkz]

Bit premature surely!

 

[JaDed]

Oh the bias.

 

[Chrish]

I really don’t follow soccer. Just wanna know if Messie is still considered the best or Ronaldo overtook him? Or is there anyone else who suppressed both?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

This guy changes his opinion about the worlds best player twice a week.

 

[TM Riddle]

Coutinho is better.

 

[in_cutter]

Not biased at all

Brazil football legend Pele was released from a Paris hospital on Monday after receiving treatment for a urinary infection.

The 78-year-old, who has suffered with kidney and prostate problems in recent years, has been receiving treatment in the French capital since falling ill last Wednesday.

Pele released a statement saying he will be back home in Brazil "ready to work again" after a five-day stay at the American Hospital of Paris.

"I suffered from a severe urinary infection that demanded medical and surgical assistance as an emergency," the three-time World Cup winner said.

"I want to profoundly thank you for the positive thinking and good wishes."

Pele was taken to the hospital following an event with Kylian Mbappe, the French forward who has drawn comparisons with the great after helping France win the World Cup last year as a teenager.

On Monday, Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar visited Pele and posted a picture of the former footballer looking well in hospital.

In November 2014 Pele stayed in a Sao Paulo hospital for two weeks, including some time in intensive care, because of a urinary tract infection.

At the time, his Brazilian doctors said intensive care was needed because of excessive inflammation in his body.

Pele's meeting with Mbappe had initially been planned for last November but was postponed because of the Brazilian's poor health at the time.

Neymar tells Paris Saint-Germain he wants to leave Ligue 1 champions this summer​

Neymar has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he wants to leave the club this summer.

Ideally, he would like to return to Barcelona but it is difficult to see how they can afford him because of their financial problems.

He has three years left to run on his £25m-a-year contract. There remains a question over whether he is jumping or being pushed.

At 31, he is not thought to be a key player for new head coach Luis Enrique as he builds a new side. PSG have been open to selling him in order to focus on building a younger, hungrier team.

There were discussions with Chelsea in January. It has been a turbulent summer in Paris with Lionel Messi leaving and the high-profile standoff with Kylian Mbappe.

The club did not comment on the matter when approached by Sky Sports News, but it is understood that the Brazil superstar, who is under contract until 2025, has yet to formally communicate his intention to leave to the club's executives.

The club are resigned to either selling France striker Mbappe this summer or losing him for nothing next summer, when he will be out of contract.

Messi left the club earlier this summer to join Inter Miami and, if Neymar and Mbappe follow him out of PSG, it will well and truly mark the end of an era.

The club are trying to shake off what their president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has previously described as their "bling bling" image of the past and work to develop more players organically rather than bring in top-of-the-range superstars.

Neymar was arguably the epitome of the old approach, with PSG smashing the world transfer record to sign him from Barcelona in 2017 for 222 million euros (£200m at the time).

He has won France's Ligue 1 title five times since joining PSG but has failed to add to the single Champions League crown he won with Barca in 2015.

Mbappe, meanwhile, has been left out of PSG's main training group as the standoff over his contract continues.

PSG sources are convinced he has already reached an agreement to officially sign for Real Madrid when his contract expires and benefit from a 160m euro signing-on fee as a free agent.

PSG are understood to have even offered Mbappe a new contract with a "guaranteed sale" clause in it confirming he can leave for a fee next summer, but sources say his representatives have refused to engage on that, or any other, offer they have made.

PSG gave Al Hilal permission to speak to Mbappe after the Saudi club tabled a world record £259million offer last month. However, it was reported Mbappe and his representatives declined to even meet a delegation from the club when they visited Paris.

Chelsea and Barcelona are also understood to be trying to put together player-plus-cash deals to bring in Mbappe, who won the World Cup with France in 2018 and also starred at last year's finals in Qatar.

A wasted career. Lots of money made, but compared to his contemporaries achieved little

Neymar has surpassed Pele as Brazil's male all-time top scorer with two goals in a 5-1 win over Bolivia.

The forward, 31, who went into the World Cup qualifying match tied with legend Pele on 77 goals, missed a penalty before scoring twice in the second half on his 125th appearance.

"I never imagined reaching this record. I'm no better than Pele or any other player for the national team," he said.

Marta has scored a record 122 goals in 189 matches for Brazil's women's team.

Pele, who died in December aged 82, scored 77 goals in 92 appearances between 1957 and 1971. He was widely regarded to be one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game.

His official account on social media platform X paid tribute to Neymar's achievement.

"Congratulations Neymar for surpassing the King in goals for Brazil. Surely Pele is applauding you today!" it said.

Brazil coach Fernando Diniz said: "He came to do what he did: have fun, score two goals and break the record."

Neymar became the world's most expensive player when he joined Paris St-Germain from Barcelona for £200m in 2017.

He left the French side in the summer to join Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal.

"He is a very big idol, people must recognise him and accept him," Diniz added.

Elsewhere, Uruguay started their South American qualifying campaign with a 3-1 win against Chile under their new coach, former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.
