In an interview with AS, Keylor Navas (39 years old) named Neymar (34 years old) as the most impressive teammate he has encountered, despite sharing a resume with other giants of the game. At Paris Saint-Germain, the goalkeeper says he saw a player capable of anything, with both feet, with a freedom that harkens back to the purest form of football.
"They are great stars and the best players of recent decades, but for talent on the field, I was very impressed by Neymar. He did whatever he wanted with the ball, whether it was with the left foot or the right foot. When I saw him in matches, it felt like when I played with my children. Ney is an incredible player."
What Navas describes is less about a track record and more about a sensation: that of a player who bends the field to his will. Neymar, in this account, is not "just" a star among stars: he is a technical anomaly, a creativity that seems to play with the rules of the game... without appearing to try.
The detail about the indifferent use of the left and right is not a mere affectation: it is the sign of a player who does not suffer the ball, but commands it. And the comparison with children is not a jab: it is the image of a rare spontaneity at the highest level, that moment when football becomes an instinctive, immediate, almost cheeky language again.
