Ex-Brazil star, Neto has come out to slam Real Madrid’s Endrick for naming Sir Bobby Charlton his childhood idol. He also blasted him for picking Jude Bellingham over Neymar, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Endrick knows nothing about football for comparing Bellingham to Neymar, and even if he is not a personal fan of Neymar, the Brazilian is obviously the better player.
Neto added that the teenager probably don’t even know who Bobby Charlton is when he named him his childhood idol.
His words, “Endrick knows nothing about football. How can he compare Bellingham to Neymar? And I must say, I’m not a fan of Neymar, but my kids adore him. Who has been the better player, Bellingham or Neymar? It’s ridiculous. Neymar is far superior.
Then he tries to be funny, bringing up Bobby Charlton. You probably don’t even know who Bobby Charlton is; you think it’s a brand of cigarettes. Trying to be popular? He’s just a simple player.”
WOW.
