The Brazilian also claimed that his religious beliefs
gave him the “wisdom” to join the Liga champions ahead of his move to
Camp Nou this summer
New Barcelona signing Neymar says he is already relishing the chance to come up against Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 21-year-old hailed the ability of the Bernabeu
star and said he hopes to come out on top when his new side does battle
with its Clasico rival next season.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player," Neymar told reporters. "He is
skillful and it will be an honor to face him. Hopefully I can win."
Neymar will join the newly crowned Liga champions
this summer and the Brazil international also claimed his religious
beliefs helped him to decide on making the switch to Spain.
“I talked to God to give me wisdom and directed me the right way, so I chose Barcelona," he said.
“I chose to join Barcelona because it was a wish that came out of my
heart. Change is always difficult, but I hope to be able to adapt as
soon as possible."
Madrid
was amongst a number of sides who were also chasing Neymar's signature
until his transfer from Santos to Camp Nou was officially confirmed last
week.
