Welcome, everybody to soccer 101. My name is Taylor Rockwell, and this week we're talking

Namar.

Neymar De Silva Santos Jr. has been one of the most talented and high-profile soccer players of his generation.

He emerged as a prodigy at Brazilian Club Santos, where he began his professional career at 17 and quickly became one of South America's most exciting players.

His move to Barcelona catapulted him to even greater heights, and his eventual

move to PSG did the same for his bank account. Now, following the premature conclusion of his time

in Saudi Arabia, he rejoined his boyhood club Santos. With Brazil, he's won Olympic gold, but hasn't

achieved the World Cup glory. Some might have hoped for. He's known for his dribbling ability,

his goal scoring, and his flare,

also injuries, diving and off-field partying. So what's the latest with Namar? Why has he been

such a controversial figure in his career and how will he be remembered by future generations?

Here with me to talk it all out, fresh from celebrating Namar's sister's birthday for 24 straight hours.

It's Graham Ruffin.

Hello, Graham.

Hello, Taylor Rockwell. When you said we were going to talk about the best Brazilian player of

his generation, I thought you meant Cleberson. So all my research is on Cleberson,

so I'm a bit panicked now that we're apparently doing it on Namar.

I mean, it's pretty much the same player, Cleberson and Neymar. That is a deep cut reference grab to start the show off, and I do appreciate it.

I also appreciate you being here with me to talk about Neymar.

I can't really do the proper Brazilian pronunciation.

It is not what I just did.

It's not even close to what I did.
