Profile

The person whom I chose to make a profile is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior. He is considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time.

Son of Neymar da Silva Santos e Nadine Santos, Neymar was born on February 5th 1992, on Mogi das Cruzes, SP, Brazil. Since the begining of his life he played soccer, and was once called a prodigy by his coach.

Neymar plays for Santos. With them he won many championships, including the Libertadores da América, the most important competition for South America. He also plays for Brazil's national team, which is formed by the best Brazilian players of an age. Playing as a forward, he won a silver medal in the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

I was impressed by Neymar's incredible dribble skills and I think he will be able to take our nation back to the top of the world. This is the reason behind my choice.
