Neymar Jr's Five 2018: Neymar Jr vs Mexico | Five-A-Side Football Tournament

All right, here we go then. Oh, he gives it back. Good sportsmanship and a little bit cheeky, as if to say, go on, come at us first. Mexico are going to fancy their chances though. They've come a long way. Would you believe... Right, Neymar, off you go, off you go. Neymar, that's it, you're done. Now, I get the feeling. Oh, a few boots in the crowd. Neymar's team are one down. Surprisingly, Neymar didn't go off the pitch there. This goal was just to wake up Neymar's team. Wow, there could be an upset on the cards. Neymar's not got into the game yet, Giuliano's, you know, hasn't felt his presence yet. He's hovering though. No intensity yet. He's pushing right on though, look at him, just waiting for something to come to him. There's the long ball. There we go. Oh, that was too easy. I think there was too much respect shown in the Mexican defence there. They stood off him. Gotta put the tackle in there, surely. Too easy. Easiest goal he'll ever score in his career. How do you deal? Okay, you're one of the greatest. Oh, he's going to score again, is he? Oh, cheeky. As a right back of your calibre, how would you prepare for playing someone like Neymar? Can you actually defend against him? These days, no. Definitely not. Not at 42. But of course, when I played in my entire career in Europe, of course, FC Barcelona and Chelsea, the best place in the world was playing the Champions League against me. So, yeah, I need to prepare. And you showed him how to do it at the other end. Oh, what a miss! What a miss! Oh, that's how you let Neymar down. He sets you up with a sitter and then you put it wide. Dear me. I played against Thierry Henry, against Lionel Messi sometimes, the best players in my generation. And did you have different... Oh, there it is, number two. Did you have different techniques for each player individually or you just knew you had to give them a half a yard or give them a bit more? No, don't give too much space for these players because they are... Because they'll be off. They're intelligent with the ball, have a lot of quality with the ball, abilities. But no, always the same way, but with hard work. And those kind of games, it's more... It's concentration more than anything, being aware because they're so clever. As a professional, you know how important is the mentality to be a professional player, to play in the big teams, big competitions. You need to prepare for this. Okay, so 2-1 to Neymar and pals. But you never know. Oh, hang on. Is he going to miss? Oh, unselfishly gives it away and it may cost them. Come on, Mexico. Give them a fight. Don't stand off him. Keep an eye on those feet. All right, that's just cheeky. Yes, what a challenge. Oh, he didn't like that and Neymar won it straight back. Oh, free kick. Ref did not like that at all. Oh, little grip. He didn't like being tackled. Well, that Mexican is going to have an amazing moment when he watches it back on Red Bull TV, the moment he nicked the ball off Neymar. And he's away. Oh, he's going to use his pace here. Oh, that's what we came to see, folks. It's those kind of skills that he used to do as a young man on these very parts. Many years ago. Well, not that many. He's only 26 years old. A little through ball. They still can't get this third goal, though, Giuliano. Mexico working hard in defence. Three as in four. They're doing very well to hold on, miss long with only three players. With a man down and Neymar on the pitch, I suppose. That's quite a big part of it. It's almost like watching a kid play with his big brother. That was beautiful. Little lob. Oh, that would have been gorgeous if he'd have lobbed that one straight in. It wasn't to be. Oh, little trip. He's having a shocker. Half minutes left of this. It'd be great if Mexico could get one back, can they? Oh, so close. Three ball surely. No. Oh, dear. Oh, Neymar just laughs at his friend's face. This wasn't good. Terrible. They made a little sub. Neymar's team. Here in Brazil, we have a lot of kind of this match. Football five. We call it futsal. So the Brazilian players started to play football on the small pitch with small ball, five against five. So did you play a lot of it when you were... There it is. There's goal number three. So were you playing a lot of this style when you were a kid? Yes. It's ingrained. Every player goes through it. I can tell you, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, Neymar, they all started the football five in Brazil. It's different. You have more contact with the ball. You need to work more with the ball. Of course. What do you think it installs in you? Does it install movement? A lot more movement. That's one thing that you learn from playing this kind of game. No, not just about movement. It's more about the contact with the ball, abilities, the quality, the skills, stuff like that. Being comfortable on the ball when it's this fast. Okay, so it's three playing two. We've got about one minute 50 left. Anything could happen. Neymar made a few subs, but the man himself is still out there. They can't quite finish this off. Oh, yeah, they can. They can. I spoke too soon. Four, two, and there's one Mexican player left, all on his own. It's going to be a long minute for him. Shoot! Oh, they're getting cheeky now. Surely this could be it. They're going to finish it off. Neymar just sitting in a defensive role. Oh, they're toying with him. It's like a cat playing with a mouse, batting him back and forth before they do the... Oh! No, that's what you get for being cheeky. Come on, Mexico. 30 seconds. Oh, lovely! Only Neymar to beat. That could be difficult. That's quite scary. You take it past two players and then Neymar's in front of you. 10 seconds to go. Can he hold out? Just hold out for 10 seconds. Come on. There was two seconds on the clock, but he couldn't do it. They left it to the final moment. Here we go to see that goal again. A little bit of showboating back and forth, showing the touch. I think I'll go that way. No, I won't. I'll go that way. Oh, there it is. Number two. Did you have different techniques for each player individually, or you just knew you had to give them a half a yard or give them a bit more? Don't give too much space for these players because they are... Because they'll be off. They're intelligent with the ball.
