Neymar's Nike
match worn boots. Both boots are personalized with
"ALEGRIA",
"OUSADIA" and a brasil flag. Neymar wore this boots
during the season 2011.
Following Neymar's performances for
Brazil's U-17 team at the 2009 U-17 World
Cup in which he scored
a goal in the opening match against Japan former
Brazilian football
players Pelé and Romário reportedly urged coach Dunga to take
Neymar to the 2010 World Cup. Although the widespread opinion
that Neymar
deserved a place in Dunga's squad went as far as a
14,000 signature petition,
and despite the huge pressure on Dunga
to pick Neymar, he was omitted from
both the squad of 23 and the
stand-by list. Although Dunga described Neymar as
"extremely
talented", he claimed that he had not been tested sufficiently on
the
international level to earn a World Cup spot and he had failed to
impress enough
while on international duty.
