Neymar and Robinho both became famous at a young age. Why are there such big differences in their development trajectories?

Robinho and Neymar both started in the Brazilian club Santos. Robinho was recognized as "Pele II". He and Diego were the Brazilian twin stars, and Neymar was also regarded as the "Pele II". He is regarded as a talented boy comparable to the football king Pele. Now Robinho has disappeared from the public, while Neymar is the superstar. They all have outstanding skills and talents, and became famous at a young age, but there is a big gap in their final development. I think there are several reasons.

The growth experience of first joining a European club was different. Neymar joined the Barcelona Cosmos team. Although he came to the Nou Camp with the aura of a talented boy, there were Messi, Suarez, etc. in the team. With no big boss in charge, Neymar grew up in a very relaxed environment without much pressure. And Messi also takes good care of this fellow South American, giving up penalty kicks from time to time to increase Neymar's confidence. Neymar quickly integrated into the Barcelona system and formed the "MSN combination" with Messi and Suarez, killing everyone and making great achievements for Barcelona. During Neymar's four years at Barcelona, ??he helped Barcelona win 10 championships including the Champions League and Club World Cup. He scored 105 goals individually and his efficiency was astonishing. Neymar's performance at Barcelona was perfect, which quickly propelled him into the ranks of superstars. Become a candidate for the Ballon d'Or alongside Messi and Ronaldo.

This summer’s 222 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain has once again brought him into the spotlight. Neymar has undoubtedly become the owner of the Parc des Princes, forming a new team with Cavani and Mbappe. Trident, Paris remains unbeaten in all competitions in the new season, and Neymar takes the greatest credit.

Robinho's first stop in Europe was Real Madrid, where the glory of the Galacticos was no longer there. The introduction of Robinho was regarded by Real Madrid executives as an important plan to revive Real Madrid. Robinho came to the Bernabeu with the important task of Real Madrid's savior on his shoulders, and the pressure can be imagined. Although he helped Real Madrid win the league title, Robinho's performance fell far short of expectations. Afterwards, Calderon wanted to trade him for Ronaldo, and Robinho was furious and left the Blue Moon Army. It can be said that the three years since Robinho joined Real Madrid were an era of turmoil and instability within Real Madrid. The head coach was frequently changed, which also affected Robinho's performance. Life at Manchester City was not easy, and he only made a difference in the first season. After Mancini took office, Robinho was ignored again. After that, he returned to Santos, joined AC Milan, and even came to Guangzhou Evergrande to pan for gold. Obviously, Robinho has now disappeared from the public.

The second is the difference in personality. Neymar is also the incarnation of South American artistic football, but he is good at changing himself. In Santos he is the core, in Barcelona he is just a part of the Barcelona system, and the change in consciousness also makes him He quickly found his place at Barcelona. Robinho is skilled and talented, but he is arrogant. His playing style is full of South American artistic football and is incompatible with Real Madrid's overall football style. He likes to play tricks with the ball too much and lacks passing ability. The proper teamwork quickly made the head coach lose his patience. This is also the reason why several European coaches did not appreciate him very much. Only Hughes, a tinkerer who was good at running small businesses when he first arrived at Manchester City, trusted him in every possible way, and he achieved his short-lived glory in Manchester City.

Finally, Robinho was born at the wrong time. The national team in Robinho's era was a generation that had no success. In the 2007 Copa America, in the absence of Ronaldinho and Kaká, Robinho O, Baptista, Diego and others led Brazil to win the championship tenaciously, something Messi has never done. However, due to the weak overall strength, Robinho was unable to lead the Brazilian national team further on the World Cup stage. Without reliable helpers, Robinho's life was destined to be full of tragedy.

Neymar has also gone through the trough of Brazilian football, experiencing the nightmare of a 1:7 defeat to Germany. But with the rise of Jesus, Coutinho, Casemiro and other young players, Brazilian football has regained its brightness. They are the future of Brazilian football and are responsible for reviving the national glory of Brazilian football. I believe that the Brazilian national team led by Neymar will show off its glory in the 2018 World Cup in Russia! Neymar's generation of Brazilian national team is full of talents. Compared with Robinho, Neymar is undoubtedly luckier.

Robinho was a technical star in Brazilian football before Neymar. It is said that the player Neymar admires most is Robinho.

Robinho is 8 years older than Neymar. Both of them entered European football when they were 21 years old. Robinho’s first stop was the La Liga giants, and Neymar’s first stop was Another giant of La Liga - Barcelona. There is a huge gap between the development trajectories of the two, which has to do with the differences in their various career plans and age groups.

Let’s talk about “career planning” first. Robinho joined Real Madrid in 2005, just as Real Madrid’s “Galaxy Phase 1” was about to sink. Lang's trough period. Robinho is to take over at Real Madrid, but Figo, who has just left the team, is helping the building to collapse. This is a difficult task for Robinho.

Robinho left Real Madrid before they even started "Galaxy II" and moved to Manchester City in the Premier League in 2008. At that time, Manchester City was just an upstart of Thaksin Shinawatra. , in those seasons they could only introduce stars of the level of Bellamy or Santa Cruz. The gap between these stars and Tevez or Aguero in the Abu Dhabi era was too big. Robinho didn't play long at Manchester City. He played for AC Milan for one season and won the Serie A championship with Ibrahimovic. But that was also the last glory of AC Milan's "classic car". After that, Robinho He also played in the Chinese Super League.

In other words, Robinho wanders around, but always catches up with the trough or decline period of each team. Robinho's strength cannot bring the team to the next level. Neymar is different. He also went to play in Europe at the age of 21. Neymar chose Barcelona. Barcelona has always had a tradition of reusing South American stars. Before Neymar, there were Brazilian seniors such as Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. , also performed well in Barcelona. Playing alongside South American stars like Messi and Suarez, Neymar didn't feel like he was in a foreign land.

Being Messi's deputy, he met Barcelona who won the "Grand Slam" of La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey in 2015, which gave Neymar room to grow steadily - of course, he later "watered" for money and core position. "The low-end flow" went to Paris in Ligue 1. This is a story later, but as far as Neymar during the Barcelona period was concerned, he was more successful than Robinho during the Real Madrid period. Of course, in addition to career planning, Neymar also has an advantage over "Wanderer" Robinho, which brings us to the second point - age group.

Let’s talk about the “age group” again. Robinho was born in 1984. At that time, there was no shortage of talents in Brazilian football. In the Brazilian national team, there are Ronaldinho, who is four years older than Robinho, and Adriano and Kaká, who are two years older than Robinho. In addition to Ronaldo and others before, Robinho It is difficult for O to play the main role in the Brazilian team. It was not until the 2007 Copa America and the 2010 World Cup that Robinho gained a starting position.

Neymar is different. During the Neymar era, Brazilian football was in decline, which allowed Neymar to become the core player of the Brazilian team early. The club's career plan has repeatedly encountered problems, and he was born at the wrong time in the national team. These are destined to mean that even though Robinho has excellent footwork, his achievements are not as good as those of his junior Neymar.

Let’s not talk about achievements, only skills at the feet. Who do you think is better, Neymar or Robinho? Welcome to discuss together.

Although they both became famous at a young age, the external environments in which they grew up were completely different.

Although Robinho became famous at a young age, the era when he was born was the era when Ronaldinho and Kaká were at their peak. In that era, Robinho was not a Brazilian Absolute core and hope of revival, and when he moved to Real Madrid in 2005, Brazil had not yet experienced the defeat in the World Cup in Germany, and the Selecao was at its peak.

However, after that, the Brazilian national team instantly fell from its peak. At the same time, Robinho, known as the new Pele, also encountered the first Waterloo in his life at Real Madrid. As Real Madrid's No. 10, Robinho, who had high hopes, did not show enough dominance. In the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons, Robinho played 69 games in one season, but only Scoring 14 goals, this efficiency is far from Real Madrid's expectations.

Although Robinho's performance improved in the 2007-2008 season, he still failed to win trust in Real Madrid. In the eyes of Spanish fans, Robinho is a flashy player. His fancy foot skills cannot help Real Madrid win more championships. As a result, Robinho made the second wrong decision in his life after joining Real Madrid: transferring to Manchester City.

In Manchester City, Robinho lived a very free, chic and undisciplined life...

As a result, a talented young man disappeared from everyone.

But Neymar is different. When Neymar became famous, the Brazilian men's football team was in a state of exhaustion and needed to rebuild its glory. It needed new heroes and new leaders. And the emergence of Neymar, It just helped Brazil find such a choice.

In addition, Neymar is not eager to land in Europe, but is concentrating on practicing in Brazil. After joining the Santos first team at the age of 17, Neymar worked step by step and won all the honors he needed in Brazil. After he was 100% sure that he could become one of the core players of Barcelona, ??he came to Europe and relied on his good performance. Performance has become one of the core of the team.

You know, when Robinho landed at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid had stars shining brightly. He wanted to get a position of his own on the front line, which required a lot of effort from him, but Ronaldo Bi is not a player willing to put in too much effort, which is also an important reason that restricts him from becoming a top star.

Compared to Robinho, Neymar has a much tougher character. He values ??his life today more than Robinho and is more ambitious. He left Barcelona for Paris with the sole purpose of One, prove that he can lead a strong team to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, prove that he can become the single core of the team.

The differences in personality and destiny have led to completely different career directions for these two players. Neymar's achievements are higher than Robinho's, probably just because he is less indifferent and more motivated than Robinho's character.

The later development of Neymar and Robinho were very different. The most important thing is their personal professionalism. Neymar is hip-hop but not dissolute, and has a very precocious mental age, while Robinho is a famous little prince of nightclubs.

Brazilian football has never lacked talent, and Ronaldinho, Adriano and Robinho are among them. Any one of these three may have more talent than Neymar, but each one is aging prematurely. Ronaldinho has missed his own era, while Ade and Robbie have become typical examples of Zhongyong's injury.

In 2005, Robinho, who was only 21 years old, landed at the Bernabeu, wearing the No. 10 jersey left by Figo. His performance at Real Madrid was very good, and he helped Real Madrid win the league in the second season. champion. At this time, Real Madrid was in the era of replacement of old and new players. Robinho quickly gained a foothold and exploded in the first half of the 2007-08 season.

Some accidents happened at this time. Robinho was suddenly injured, and then Robbie and his agents started to act. On the one hand, he asked Real Madrid to give him a salary increase, but on the other hand, there was constant negative news. In the end, the relationship with Real Madrid turned sour, and Real Madrid made the decision to sell Robinho.

Another episode occurred during the transfer. Real Madrid originally wanted to sell Robinho to Chelsea, a new giant and a regular in the Champions League. However, Chelsea's behavior of selling the jersey before the Chelsea player arrived angered Real Madrid, and eventually sold Robinho to the rising Manchester City. Since then, Robinho has become Neo's twist.

Of course, after going to Manchester City, Robinho performed very bravely in his first season. The Premier League defender had absolutely nothing to do against this cycling madman. If this continues, there may not be another world, after all, he is still very young.

But in the second season, Robinho's condition plummeted. Although Cristiano Ronaldo from the same city also loved to go to nightclubs, he always showed up at the training ground full of energy the next day. Robbie was very fond of nightclubs. Obsession has seriously affected his career, which is the fundamental reason for his rapid decline.

The timing is different! In the early days of Robinho's debut, stars in Brazil and Real Madrid shone brightly. Who still treats him as a treasure? At most, he is just another star! Neymar is one of the stars in Brazil who has declined. Someone has to carry the flag. Naturally, he is the core player. We can design play styles around him, etc., so that his skills can be better utilized. As for Barcelona, ??he can also be one of the core players. Well! The skills of the two are not much different. Neymar knows how to play with skills, and his efficiency in the arena is still ranked first, so his goals and assists are much better than Pele II! It's okay for Robinho to play tricks, but the efficiency is too low! There is also a difference in physical fitness. Neymar's ability to resist is obviously much better. Robinho is really weak and weak. Messi is much stronger than him!

The difference in the development of Neymar and Robinho is that Neymar met Messi.

Santos is an amazing club. In these 10 years, they have produced two pairs of "super twins", Robinho and Diego, Neymar and Ganso. But of those two pairs, only Neymar has truly lived up to expectations, while the other three have all unquestionably disappointed.

Leave aside Ganso and Diego, let’s talk about Neymar and Robinho. The paths of the two in the early days were very similar. Both became famous at a young age and were regarded as national treasures. In order to gain the love of their own people, they both stayed in Brazil for a long time, and they did not leave Brazil until they were in their 20s to join a La Liga giant; Even when the two first entered La Liga, their performance was unsatisfactory. After experiencing some growth, they were recognized by Spanish fans. The similarity is very high.

The difference is that after Robinho came to Real Madrid, he immediately got the No. 10 jersey. He was regarded as the core of the team and put high pressure on him. And Neymar came to Barcelona, ??which has Messi. As a team leader, he naturally has nothing to do.

In fact, at the beginning, Neymar still didn’t know how high the sky was. His first meeting with Messi was in the Club World Cup. Before the game, he even uttered wild words, saying that he wanted Barcelona to see "what real football is." But at that time, the Cosmos team was at its peak. Messi and Habaib, the flow of passing and control made it impossible for the proud Neymar to get the ball, and Messi even made him a pile.

Neymar has thought about the gap between the two, but he has not thought that the gap between the two is that big. Therefore, he was convinced by Messi and came to Barcelona after the season and became Messi's younger brother. The Argentinian Messi, just like the Brazilian Ronaldinho led him, led Neymar to gradually grow up.

But Robinho does not have this treatment. He was regarded as the core when he came to Real Madrid, and everyone expected him to perform shockingly. But he is so young, how can he be so capable of taking on such a big responsibility? It was the same when he came to Manchester City. When he went to Manchester City, he also claimed that he would inherit the title of Cristiano Ronaldo's number one player in the Premier League, but his performance was not satisfactory. Robinho's talent may not be bad, but his ruin is that he puts too much pressure on himself.

Now, Neymar has revealed the nature of Brazilians: unwilling to be subordinate to others. His choice of Paris is almost the same as Robinho's choice of Manchester City. So, can Neymar achieve the challenge that Robinho failed to complete back then? We can wait and see.

Neymar’s football intelligence is much higher than Robinho

Neymar is more team-oriented and has a better shot. Robbie also performed well in Real Madrid in the early stage. After transferring to Manchester City, he scored 15 goals and performed well in the first season. However, his performance gradually declined after that. Compared with the two personal technical aspects, they are almost the same. But Neymar is more comprehensive, and Robbie is still limited to his personal performance

Robbie's confrontation, explosiveness and combination of ball are not top-notch, and they are much worse than Neymar. In addition, Robbie is not good at shooting. , very unstable, this gap cannot be ignored. When the skill of shooting reaches the professional level, it is very difficult to improve. If the upper limit is not high, how can you practice it? As a forward, his inability to shoot is a major flaw, and this cannot be ignored.

The upper limit is definitely Neymar. Neymar can become a legendary player like Ronaldinho. Messi is also passing on Neymar in the same way that Ronaldinho passed it to him. But Neymar has two fatal flaws, which have nothing to do with his skills and diligence. The first is that his moves always irritate his opponents. They are not aimed at passing and scoring, but just to tease the opponent. The second is that he is too selfish, eager for quick success and quick gains, wants to be the boss, and only cares about money. If Neymar had Suya’s team spirit and practical skills, he would be the third person after Melo
