Neymar primarily plays as either a central striker, winger or occasionally as an attacking midfielder and has been described as "a true phenomenon". He often plays as a left sided forward for both club and country in the team's
4–3–3 formation, drifting infield due to his energetic pace and playmaking skills. Neymar's dribbling skills and playmaking ability are reminiscent of compatriot
Ronaldinho. His common traits are his creativity, passing, finishing, dribbling, feints and technique, being described as both "electric" and "explosive". He commented on his attributes saying: "I'm always trying to perfect everything – dribbling, shooting, headers and control. You can always improve". Neymar stated that he has been inspired by
Lionel Messi,
Cristiano Ronaldo,
Andrés Iniesta,
Xavi and
Wayne Rooney.
Neymar, playing for
Brazil in
2011, has been compared to compatriots
Pelé and Ronaldinho.
The media have often drawn comparisons between Neymar and Brazilian
Legend Pelé, as Neymar possesses similar attributes and also like Pelé came from the
Santos Youth Academy and turned heads with his skill. Neymar has said that Pelé is his "role model" but also saying: "I don't like to make comparison with Pelé". On 11
April 2012, during the celebrations for the
100 years of Santos, when asked by journalists about Lionel Messi, Pelé said he felt that Neymar was better: "Now everyone is talking about
Messi; he is a star. But [to be the best ever] he must first become better than Neymar," Pelé said. "At the moment Messi is just more experienced."
Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho had also tipped Neymar on becoming the best player in the world: “Neymar is young though, and I can't explain how special he will become
. In the next two or three seasons he will become the best player." Another Brazilian star, retired
World Cup winner
Ronaldo also believes that Neymar can become the best in the world: "Logically, Messi is better right now but Neymar is a great talent who will show the world that he will be number one". Former
Real Madrid sporting director
Jorge Valdano has also praised Neymar, stating: "I like Neymar a lot. Many of his individual actions result in a goal and often it's a move that only seems to be happening with him on the pitch." FC Barcelona star Xavi also stated that Neymar "is a great player, has a very good attitude, and will go on to be the best player in the world." However, Neymar also has been known and criticised for his diving when tackled. For which Pelé has told: "He is a player with a body that can't take a lot of hits. A lot of times he will fall because he can't do anything else, but he was overdoing it." He continued: "Even when he is fouled, he can't make a spectacle out of it".
Neymar's increasing reputation led both the media and former great players to draw comparisons between Neymar and FC Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, which Neymar has commented on saying: "Messi is above everyone, there is no use comparing me with him. He is the best player in the world and I always get inspired when I watch good football." Ronaldo said: “Neymar is a great talent, the best we have in Brazil. He is very similar to Messi.”
Zico said: “I see Neymar like a [
Cristiano] Ronaldo or a Messi, the type who appears and makes things happen.” After his hat-trick against
Internacional 3–1 in
Copa Libertadores and Messi's five goals scored in the
Champions League, Neymar said: "
I am a Messi fan. I was told what he did today. I support him to score a lot of nice goals so I can keep copying and imitating him."
