#3 A more mature and fresh Neymar
Expect a more mature Neymar this time
Neymar in Brazil four years ago is undoubtedly different from the Neymar the world will witness in Russia. In 2014 he had just a year of experience at a massive club like Barcelona, whom he joined in 2013.
His highly successful four year stint with the Catalan giants, where he played alongside some of the best in the business has made Neymar a more mature and better player.
The La Liga experience will provide rich dividends for the Brazilian in crunch situations, as far as he is fit and raring to go unlike the 2014 World Cup.
Now with the Captain's armband, he needs to be more mature and responsible to carry Brazil's rich legacy forward.
The foot injury he sustained in February during a game against Marseille in Ligue 1, ruled him out for almost four months.
He made his comeback in Brazil's 2-0 friendly win over Croatia on June 3. Fresh from a four month break due to injury, he found the back of net in that game and also in Selecao's 3-0 friendly win over Austria a week later.
Expect a fresh and mature Neymar to take Brazil all the way to the top of the podium at the Luzhniki stadium on July 15.
