Classy Neymar a Brazilian player to watch

I managed to watch a few of the recent international matches but the player who impressed me the most was Neymar. He is simply class. He is certainly someone to look out for and he can play.He’s a fantastic player for the future of Brazilian football and I think he is right to stay in Brazil and mature a bit more. It’s better that he doesn’t come over to Europe and lose that Brazilian flair.That happens to a lot of them when they come over and I just hope he stays there and learns his craft.The game against Scotland, which Brazil won 2-0, was marred by the banana throwing incident and it’s never a nice thing to see happen. To see that people in 2011 are still reverting to this sort of stuff is ridiculous.It was found to be a kid from Germany and this raises the question of why would he do such a thing. Did he do it deliberately or what, I don’t know.I just hope that in this day and age people would come to their senses and leave all this stuff out of the game.Manchester United travel to Upton Park this weekend with a host of injuries to their defence and I just hope we can sort ourselves out and get a result.I’m looking forward to the game and there won’t be a better time to get the points than today. United have people missing but I just hope we can go out there, grab the game by the scruff of the neck and play well.I am hoping that Arsenal get themselves together. If not they will fade into the abyss and give the title to United without a fight but to have their best players returning from injury there won’t be a better time to mount a run.Theo Walcott has lots of pace and now again he can beat you with this. Let’s just hope he can work on his crossing to make the difference from a good player to a great player.Robin Van Persie was also cleared of serious injury and you need him because he is a goalscorer and you can’t rule out the importance of Cesc Fabregas as well.I just wish he would grab the bull by the horns and dictate to people and not let people kick him around and give it back.If he can do this it can help him as well as Arsenal.Tottenham could be boosted with the return of Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale but they will need them for the run in and the Champions League.The league will be very interesting, from the top to the bottom is tight and this is what makes the league so exciting. On any given day any team can win, none of the games are easy.You need to be mentally and physically strong and if you’re not you will be overwhelmed. You have to work hard or the league will find you out.A lot of the foreign players have taken a long time to adjust because they are coming from countries where the game is a lot slower.You look at the Brazilian boys who come over. They can adjust quickly because they have excellent technique compared to other players around the world. The talent is always there and you just need to give the better players a chance to get used to elements of the league.Bermuda’s Nahki Wells will be at Wembley this weekend for Carlisle’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final against Brentford and my advice to him is to embrace it because you may never get another chance to go there again. To get this opportunity in his first year is great. I really hopes he gets a chance to showcase his skills.Enjoy it, embrace it with both arms. The way the leagues are set up now there are more chances to play at the stadium because you have the semi-finals and finals played there.
