Neymar Taught Messi A Lesson
Neymar said that he had taught Messi his unique penalty taking skills.
“I helped Messi take penalties! We were in training, and he asked me… ‘How do you take penalties like that?'” Neymar remembered.
Neymar was surprised by Messi’s question
“I was like, ‘Are you crazy? You’re Messi! If I can do it, you can too,'” he said.
Neymar Nearly Joined Bayern Munich
Neymar also revealed that Neymar was nearly convinced by Guardiola to join Bayern Munich in 2013.
“I almost went to Bayern because of Guardiola. I went to receive the Puskas award, and my father kept calling me at two in the morning, saying, ‘I’m coming over, open the door now.’ There I was, in my underwear and t-shirt, and there were my father and Guardiola. Guardiola entered my room and started talking to me. ‘I want to take you to the team I’m going to, come play with me, I will make you the best.'”
“He grabbed a piece of paper and a laptop and began showing me, ‘You’re going to do this and that; if you don’t score 60 goals in a year, I’ll change my name.’ I started to waver, hearing Guardiola say that. He said, ‘I’m going to sign with Bayern; I know it’s a cold city, but I promise I’ll take care of you there,'” said Neymar.
