Tostao believes Neymar will be better than Ronaldinho

Tostao, one of the legends of Brazilian football from the 70s, spoke on Cadena SER about Neymar. Tostao, who was known as the 'white Pele', believes Neymar is at a better level than Ronaldinho.

"I have no doubt he will be better than Ronaldinho, because he's more complete," said Tostao. "Ronaldinho only had three good years. If he had played over 10 years, like Messi, at a really high level, we would discuss if he's at the height of Neymar, but he lasted three years and Neymar has five."

In comparison with Pele, Tostao said: "Pele had all the virtues that a footballer should have in his position. He was very strong, he shot with his right, with his left, he was spectacular in the air, he had a lot of goals, he was the most complete player of all time. Neymar has the chance to be the second best player in the history of Brazilian football, but it's difficult to imagine he could overtake Pele."
