Neymar: I must keep adapting to tighter marking


Neymar has admitted that he is finding it increasingly difficult to find time and space for himself on the field, but remains confident that he will always retain his ability to conjure something out of nothing.

The Santos starlet is just 20 but is already regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in the game. For that very reason, he is drawing as much attention on the field as off it.


"We all go through difficult times in life and it's the same in football," said the Brazil international CT Rei Pele.

"This cycle, and the ball is round one day, fine; .., In the next worse difficulty is experienced, and it helps me to grow."

Neymar now being specifically targeted by opposition defenders and accept that the onus is on him to keep coming up with new ways to reduce its marker.

"It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to play:. Everyone knows my potential, I have to find new ways to avoid the defense, because it's hard," said Neymar.

"When you're in the game, you should always try to do the same thing as usual, but also with something else, something that is impromptu."

Neymar, who has 18 caps for the Selecao, has been included in his country's squad for the Olympic Games this summer in London.
