The Paris Saint-Germain attacker endured a difficult World Cup campaign, but his compatriot still believes in him

Former Brazil international Julio Baptista is confident Neymar can still become the best player in the world, irrespective of his underwhelming performances at the World Cup.

The Paris Saint-Germain attacker recovered just in time from a foot injury to participate in the finals, but failed to live up to the high expectations in Russia.

Although Neymar scored twice in five appearances, he could not prevent Brazil from crashing out in the quarter-finals as Belgium beat them 2-1 in Kazan.
