Neymar feels strong, he feels inspired and last night Bolivia paid for it. Brazil beat the Andean team 5-0. The PSG player arrived touched, with back problems, but they did not seem to affect him in the least. Playing as a midfielder he was a constant martyrdom and, despite the fact that he did not sin from individualism, he left an amazing record. The specialized site SofaScore explains that it set a new record for dribbles achieved in a match since its database exists, which began operating five years ago. The Brazilian player completed 18 of 23 dribbles.

SofaScore explains that Neymar has surpassed Adama Traoré, who marked the top in his record to date. The Spanish international had twice managed to reach 16 dribbles. The last time in January 2020. The devastating Spanish winger was 16 of 20 on New Year's Day against Watford. As we say, it was not the first time. On September 9, 2017, it also reached that level with an even better percentage. That day, playing for Middlesbrough against Bolton, he managed 16 good dribbles of 18 attempted.
Luis Enrique stressed in the previous one against Switzerland that Adama is a difficult player to find, as is Neymar. Dribbling, as a way of life for both, as a very important weapon in their repertoire. World football continues to admire the masters of this luck. Players also like Boga (Sassuolo), Saint-Maximin (Newcastle), Vinicius, Messi, obviously, or Thiago Alcántara himself. There are many more, but this type of record has more and more merit in a football with few distances and spaces.
