He is the hope of the nation, the hero of Brazil. The superstar of football who almost won the gold for Brazil in 2012, will try and have one more go in Rio. It will difficult to digest to everyone that Brazil has never won the Olympic gold in football. Olympic gold is the only International title which has eluded the Brazil team and Neymer will go all in and try and bring the gold glory to the host nation.

After suffering from the injury back in the world cup quarter finals and them skipping the Copa America last year as well, Neymar is back as the captain of the team and the hope of the nation as well. Although Brazil is dependent on Neymar, he will have the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Barbosa on the flanks to support him in securing the golden glory.
