Brazilian great Bebeto insists Neymar will win the World Cup in his career

  • SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Bebeto, 1994 FIFA World Cup winner:

    (on whether Neymar will be a failure if he doesn't win the World Cup in Russia):

    "No, I don't believe that. Neymar is still very young. He has probably two or three more World Cups ahead him. If he doesn't win this time, I don't think it's a complete failure. He is already one of the top strikers in Brazilian national team history, and he won the Olympic gold medal for the first time in the country's history. Winning the World Cup is so hard and I can name so many players who didn't win the World Cup. Lionel Messi has never won the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo has never won it too. But you would never consider these players not to be among of the best in the game. For me to win the World Cup, it all began with a dream as a child, to represent Brazil and win the World Cup. When I lift the trophy in 1994... The happiness I saw on the faces of the Brazilians was simply amazing. I want to relive that feeling again. I hope Neymar can bring the trophy back to Brazil. He is still very young, at 26 year-old, he has a lot ahead of him, and I hope that someday, he can lift the trophy. I will definitely be supporting him. I am a huge fan of Neymar, a very good friend, and I know that some day, he is going to win the World Cup."
