Samuel Eto’o has said that Neymar will become the next superstar football, after the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Neymar has scored 70 goals in 134 games since he moved to Barcelona from Santos in 2013.
The Brazilian forward has been named as finalist for the Ballon d’Or prize, after clinching the Treble with the Catalans this year.
Eto’o said he will only blame himself, if he does not achieve his full potential.
“Neymar has a lot of potential. After the era of Messi and Cristiano, surely he will be No. 1,” Eto’o told ESPN Brasil.
“But he has to remember that it depends on him a lot. He must remember that he hast the talent and needs to train, train and train, because others do not have his talent.
“Neymar is only 24 years old, I am 10 years older than him, but he is a leader in Brazil.
“I think, with all he has experienced, the pressure, he may be able to give advice to a 35-year-old who plays with him.”
