World Cup 2018: 10 top number 10s to watch out for 

#2 Neymar (Brazil)

Croatia v Brazil - International Friendly

Expected from a very young age to be the new Pelé, the new Romario, and the new Ronaldo all rolled into one, the pressure of being Brazil's golden boy would have weighed down many a player but not Neymar.

Such is the self-confidence of this amazing talent that at just 25 years of age, he is already the 4th highest all-time goalscorer for a nation like Brazil. The most expensive player in world football following his transfer to PSG from FC Barcelona last season, 201 million Brazilians held their collective breath when he sustained an injury while playing for his French side.

That collective holding of breath gave way to relief and joy when he made his return to the national side and proceeded to score a wonder goal in the Canarinho's 2-0 victory over Croatia.

With his silky touches, close control, mazy dribbling skills and infectious personality, the wonder boy from Mogi das Cruzes has everything in his locker to become the best player in the world and leading his football-mad nation to its sixth World Cup title might just do the trick.
