Rosenborg: If Neymar is put in the right position, he will perform better

Recently, former Santos and Brazilian national team coach Luxenberg conducted an in-depth analysis of Neymar's performance in Brazil and explained why he performed poorly at Santos.

In the TV Bandeirantes program "Garvao and His Friends", Luxenberg said that Neymar's sluggish state was mainly due to his position on the field. The former Santos coach also proposed a solution: "They changed his position and asked him to play forward. He wanted to drop back to get the ball, but the ball could not be passed to his feet. Santos did not have so many high-quality players who could put the ball at his feet."

"If you put Neymar in a better position, he will have more opportunities. If you realize that Neymar is a genius, put him at his feet." Putting him closer to the penalty area can solve the problem. Neymar has not performed well for a long time, and so far he has not solved the problem of Santos."

Luxenberg also talked about the possibility of Ancelotti recalling Neymar to the Brazilian national team, and gave some advice to the Italian, and even recalled his past experience with Ronaldo in the national team.

"If I were the head coach of the Brazilian national team and wanted to rely on Neymar, I would call him directly. Instead of conveying the message through others, I would go and tell him in person. Now some people say that the national team coach cannot do this. When I called up Ronaldo for the Copa America At that time, I told him that we would help him lose weight, and he said that he was willing. There would be no problem with the head coach communicating with the players."

Former player Walter Casagrande also expressed his views on Neymar's current situation: "He has a very serious problem, which is to deny the current situation. In fact, he refuses to admit the predicament he is currently in. He barely participates in defense. When Flamengo has the ball, he just puts his hands on his waist and walks on the court while the other nine players are desperately defending."

"There is no counterattack because he has no speed and explosiveness. Power or sprinting ability. He is hindering Santos, and every game is worse than the last. He has not performed well for three years, from the end of Paris Saint-Germain to Saudi Arabia, including his time in the national team."
