Brazilian forward Neymar recently admitted that Chelsea is a club that he would have to listen to and has sparked rumours that he’s tempted by a move to the Premier League by saying that he would like to learn how to speak English.
The 20-year-old is currently on international duty with Brazil and will likely play in tomorrow’s game against Japan and said that he would like to learn another language if he can make time between his football and family commitments.
Neymar told Sport:
“I want to learn a worldwide language like English.
“Now I would love to learn English and also Spanish, but between travelling with football, my family and my child I have not time to do so. I hope that I can organise things and do a course.”
Everyone seems to have an opinion on Neymar and there has been constant speculation surrounding his future since we were originally linked with him a couple of summers ago, with Ronaldo suggesting that he needs to move to Europe as soon as possible to develop his game (read about it here) but Pele argues the opposite.
Pele said:
“I disagree that Neymar should leave for Europe now. Last year Neymar’s agent spoke to his father, because he had an offer to go to England.
“When I found out, I went to see them and told them it wasn’t the right time to make the leap into English football, because it’s very tough and Neymar, who is an excellent player, isn’t physically up to it.”
I don’t think there’s a whole lot we can learn from Neymar’s desire to learn English or Spanish as we all know that he’s likely to go to a Barcelona, Chelsea or Real Madrid, so it’s not a great surprise.
As for Pele’s opinions on Neymar, I would have to disagree with the Brazilian legend as Neymar has probably gone as far as he can in Brazil and his club isn’t having the best of campaigns at the moment, so it could be a good time for him to move on and for Santos to cash in on their most prized asset.
Also, Pele’s only club experience outside of Brazil was for the New York Cosmos, so perhaps the opinion of Ronaldo holds more weight as he’s played for most of Europe’s elite clubs as well as perform on the big stage for his country.

i want neymar to come 2 chelsea but d decisions of his country men(pele & ronaldo) will determine his final destination.
If the premier league is so tough how come Oscar,Ramires, Sandro. and Luiz r doing well? Pele shud shut up coz he was better playing football than giving advice!! Dinosaurs lyk him shudnt really be taken seriously!
Neymer can come to england but pele could be convice him.but if u can come to chelsea in england i will greatfull.
I Think Ronaldo is right, Pele have no idea on how Europe play their game. If moving to England will make him have more experience then other country, Because if it is spain, it is only two club nothing there to fight for and Italy is not going for him and England you have alot of competition for him to make him show what he know how to do best. Beside if he go to Barca, i think his career will not be as great as expecting, he will always work for Messi who has been Legend in Barca, he can see the case of Villa how he is going, every one work for Messi glory, So Neymer you should take the best decision by signing for Chelsea which i believe will be the best move for you knowing that they are bring up young guys and also playing the best ball in England as it stands and i think you can work for yourself and work for the team too, So Chelsea accept you and give you the best idea. i hope to see you sign for Chelsea. Good Luck young man.
who told u everybody is working for Messi. Messi is a player on his own that can take on defenders on a good and massacre them. so they work for him and he also show himself when need arises
Pls neymer I fink †?? best club for U????? now is Chelsea so U????? have ??? do all wuh it takes ??? make ??? Englang as ???? nxt destination. Here U????? I’ll enjoy a lot of competitions rather than going ??? spain cos they dnt have competitions ?H???, moreover, if U????? want ??? become a Europe best U????? jst have ??? come ??? England ?????-???»??oK????-???»??? So, C ronaldo & Messi’ll neva step down for U????? so pls choose wise ?????-???»??oK????-???»?? goodluck M????????? guy.
The best club for Nermar is chelsea why because if he luk in world 2day d 2gr8 players dat every one talks about is in spain non is in england so is an opportunity 4 him 2 mak d right decision.
At Baca, messi will not stop what he is doning years from now..messi will still be ontop for as long as you can imagine..you will never be world best at Baca, so go to a club u know you can paly better than every player there..

My advise 4 d young Man is 2 make a decision himself,He should not listen 2 any discourage…cos a Man like Pele dos not have d experience of English FootballNo where like England,Chelsea 4 him…,Messi an Ronaldo will never give a chance…..So fink Wise
My advise 4 Neymar,is dat he shudn’t litten to Pele n move down to europe n establish himself nt wasten such beautiful talent he as got,he will give dat kind of football we see 1ce in a decade,future world best come to chelsea,it is de right place to mak a gud career,a gud example is ur bros dem,oscar,luis,ramires,even young piazon
