Neymar can prove greatness

Qatar World Cup 2022 adviser Bora Milutinovic said Santos striker Neymar has time to prove if he can become the greatest player ever.

Milutinovic, a former coach, acted as an advisor in helping Qatar winning the rights to host football’s showpiece tournament.

A close follower of international football, Milutinovic hailed Neymar, who recently signed a new deal with Santos to stay on until 2014.

“I’ve seen him (Neymar) play. I’m glad to see a player come up with this quality,” Milutinovic told Globoesporte.com.

“Neymar has excellent football qualities and has everything to become a star of world football.”

“But only time will tell whether it will be one of the best of all time.”

On Friday, Neymar said his decision to stay with Santos rather than join Real Madrid or Barcelona ‘made history.’
