Neymar on track to surpass Messi: Romario
Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian striker Neymar is on track to surpass Argentine goal-poacher Lionel Messi in football’s list of all-time greats, according to former Barcelona and Brazilian star Romario.
Now a senator in Brazil, Romario predicted the 22-year-old would remain at the top until at least his mid-30s, as per reports.
“He has everything it takes to be better than Messi,” Romario said.
“Messi has already created history for what he has achieved. Neymar could also do that but in a way that is more complete. Messi might not even have one more World Cup in him and Neymar has the capacity to play in three or four World Cups.”
Since making his international debut under Mano Menezes in 2010, Neymar has scored 42 goals from 59 matches. Only Pele (77), Ronaldo (62), Romario (55) and Zico (48) have scored more for the Selecao.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
