Neymar's Nike match worn boots. Both boots are personalized with "ALEGRIA",
"OUSADIA", "NJR11" and a brasil flag. Neymar wore this boots during the season
2011/2012. 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.
