Top 5 footballing wizards - based on how they manipulate the ball at their feet

#2 Neymar Jr

Neymar - his pace, tricks, and skills are quite unmatchable

Brazilian wizard Neymar is arguably the most skillful player on the planet at the moment. He has all the tricks in the book, he can dribble really well, has good speed and even better acceleration.

From his childhood days, the Selecao star has been really impressive. He broke through the ranks in Santos to become the best player in South America. When an 18-year-old Neymar put up some overwhelming display, South American journalist Tim Vickery was forced to say;

"The 18-year-old is a magnificent prospect. He is so sleek and very skillful, able to beat defender on either side, capable of combining well, and full of tricks he can put to productive use in and around the penalty area."

He always enjoys as he plays the game with his care-free Samba style. The most creative winger in the world for the past few years, Neymar has been a real force and a constant threat to opposing defenses. His awesome pace, along with his incredible ability to cut inside, dribble with flair, create chances and score awesome goals have been so fantastic.

He was the most fouled player in La Liga last season. This tells us more about the attacker's incredible talent and constant threat as he single-handedly tears defenses apart.
