Neymar asks to play in the Olympics and Copa America
Posted Tuesday, July 28, 2015 by Marca.com
Neymar has declared that he has informed Barcelona of his desire to take part in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and in the Copa America Centenario.
"I want to take part in the Olympic Games in Rio and also in the Copa America", the player declared in an interview with Globo television's 'Esporte Espectacular'.
Asked about the Ballon d'Or, Neymar felt that just to be one of the finalists would be reward enough for the player.
"To be one of the three best would be something really big. To be with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would be an honour in itself", said the Brazilian, who admitted that he admired both players.
However, when push comes to shove, the Barca man declared a preference for his teammate, Messi, whom he considers "a friend" and "an idol" that he looks up to.
