#4 Neymar and Ronaldo could have formed a deadly duo

Neymar Cristiano ronaldo
Two similar players on opposite sides

Very often we speak about players who bond off the pitch, and generally do well on the pitch. Neymar comes from a country that primarily speaks Portuguese, enjoys a lavish lifestyle and tries to keep up with the latest fashion. Another player who does that? – Cristiano Ronaldo!

Ronaldo and Neymar have similar styles of play and have often been criticised for their attitudes. Both come from countries that speak Portuguese, are seen as fashionable and have had their fair share of controversies. Neymar’s move to Real Madrid could have seen Ronaldo nurture the Brazillian into his successor not only for Real Madrid but for world football on the whole.
