Pele:Neymar is the best player in the world

These days the individual players are better known than the teams," Pele said during a visit to a homeless encampment. "It's going to be a 'Copa of Stars', no doubt..Messi and Neymar can show there who is the best player in the world.For me Neymar is shinning and can tell the world that he is becoming step by step the best player in the world,nobody can stop him.

Brazilian legend Pele is looking forward to a star-studded Copa America tournament this summer -- but has challenged Barcelona stars Lionel Messi and Neymar to reproduce their best club form at international level.


However, Pele questioned whether Argentina captain Messi and Brazilian talisman Neymar would be able to hit the heights of their best club form.
Despite leading Argentina to the World Cup final last year, Messi is often accused of failing to sparkle in the famous jersey of the 'Albiceleste

Pele also said  whether the 27-year-old would be on top form in Chile.
"When he's in Spain, with Barcelona, with a team he already knows and knows well, he's a player," Pele said.
But Messi when he's with the Argentinian team is not the same thing,Pele  said.

It's a different way of playing -- the Argentinian team is not organised the same way. The same thing happens with Neymar and Brazil


Pele meanwhile shied away from picking a winner for the tournament, saying only that Argentina and hosts Chile would start among the favorites.

Today football is very different -- you can't say who will win," he said. With computers and television, everyone knows everything about their opponents. It's hard to say who will reach the final."
