Neymar was one of the best footballers in the world for many years. It is currently outside in the category. Unlike Florian Wirtz. But the Brazilian is not known.

A German young star inspires internationally – just not Neymar. In a Sky interview, the Brazilian superstar on the edge of the test game between his club FC Santos and RB Leipzig about Florian Wirtz was approached. His reaction: a shake of the head. “No,” replied the 33-year-old when asked if he knew Wirtz-nothing more. It remained unclear whether Neymar understood acoustically.

His answer was different with Jamal Musiala. Neymar found words of praise through the Bayern professional: “He is a great player, a real exceptionally. I think he will be one of the big ones in the future.”

Wirtz, on the other hand, apparently remained a blank leaf for the former world-class striker-at least in front of the camera.
