The Brazilian head-coach has emphasised the importance of the Santos player to further develop his skills by plying his trade in the European Leagues.
The Brazilian prodigy has attracted a lot of interest for his exceptional performances in the Brazilian league and the Copa Libertadores.
The prodigal talent helped Santos overcome http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Internacional-c39573 single-handedly, scoring a hat-trick; Santos eventually won 3-1.
Neymar also won the Puskas Goal of the Year Award at the Ballon D’or 2011, for his outstanding effort. The player has attracted a lot of interest from various clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. The Brazilian
tactician suggested that it is commendable of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 to extend his stay in Brazil, but it might not be the best decision for his future.
In his interview with Globoesporte, Menezes was of the opinion:
"With regards to his atmosphere and the sense of belonging, him staying in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 is great. But for a final development, for him to gain more respect, it would be important to play in Europe.”
He further mentioned that the prodigy should not expose himself to a lot of risk, and gave some advice to the youngster.
"Being there, there is no need for him to expose himself so much. The fact that he stayed in Brazil demanded contracts which took a lot of time to be drawn up. People see that he is exposed. You need to execute
all three aspects well - training, eating and resting - in order to be fine.”
Despite signing a new contract with Santos, there is massive interest in the forward from AC Milan and Juventus. Antonio Conte is on the lookout for an out and out striker, a player who can make goal-scoring
opportunities at will, and Neymar would fit the description perfectly.
On the other hand, AC Milan have a long history with the Brazilian players, with Luiz http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734, Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Cafu making a big name at San Siro.
Santos have reportedly slapped a 45 million Euros price tag on the Brazilian international, which might prevent him for joining Milan or Juventus.
