Brazilian superstar Neymar admits that he has grown as a footballer in the last few years.

The 22-year-old became one of the youngest ever Brazilian captains when he led the side out against Colombia in a friendly last week.




He fractured his vertebrae in his spine against the Colombians in the World Cup quarter-final and was ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

Without their talismanic forward, Brazil suffered a humiliating 7-1 demolition at the hands of Germany in the semi-finals and Holland piled even more sorrow on the Selecao with a 3-0 win in the third place playoff.
 


Neymar admits that a lot has changed in his life in the last few years and said that that he has developed as footballer and as a human being.

“Many things have changed for me”, the Barcelona forward was quoted as saying by Tutto Mercato.

“I have learned a lot in the last three to four years and grown as a player. As a professional I have learned a lot from the experienced players in the national squad.”

At 22, Neymar has already scored 36 goals in 55 appearances for the Selecao.
