Cristiano Ronaldo has been transformed from a brilliant playmaker to an unstoppable target man.
This change in position of the flying Portuguese will come to the aid of Neymar. That will eliminate the probable conflict between these two players. Unlike his stint at Nou Camp, he will retain his position as the creative midfielder of the team.
Neymar and Ronaldo can form a mutually beneficial relationship, where one provides and other scores. Considering his age, Ronaldo doesn't have many years left in him to compete for the Ballon d'Or, but he can assist Neymar to secure one.
With one of the best footballers in the world to look up to in moments of distress, who can draw defenders and change the fate of the game in the wink of an eye, Neymar will be able to play a more relaxed and free role in the midfield.
