Across those five matches, a big-game player was born.

Then, after a rare quiet day in the first leg of the Paulistão semi-final against São Paulo, he was back at it in the return match, scoring with his arm and subsequently beating an exasperated Ceni with another matador penalty as Santos sealed a 6-2 aggregate success. “I’ll always try something different you don’t stand out by just doing the normal things.”Ĭlássico number three brought another goal and the first red card of his career for what was, in truth, a fairly innocuous challenge on Palmeiras midfielder Pierre. “I couldn’t resist,” Neymar said afterwards. In the second, against Corinthians, he followed a crackerjack opener with some schoolyard horseplay, flicking the ball over the head of veteran defender Chicão after the referee had stopped play for a free-kick. In the first derby of the campaign, he befuddled legendary São Paulo goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni with the paradinha (little stop) penalty that would briefly become his trademark, theatrically pausing at the end of his run-up and rolling the ball into the unguarded side of the goal. The kid from Mogi das Cruzes may have weighed about 50 kilos soaking wet – former coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo had memorably described him as a ‘butterfly fillet’ the previous season – but he was not afraid to make his presence felt. If those goals went some way to endearing Neymar to the Santos faithful, it was his habit of winding up the seasiders’ biggest rivals that sealed the deal. That strike earned him a nomination for the FIFA Puskás Award his second against Naviraiense in March probably should probably been referred to Human Rights Watch. Against Grêmio Barueri, he sat his marker down with a fiendish cut-back before finishing.Ī week later, he danced past what seemed like a hundred generic Santo André henchmen and stroked the ball into the corner when he got bored. The majority of Neymar’s goals in those hazy autumn months were stunning, showcasing the poise and sense of adventure that we now know to be synonymous with his play. Yet to focus on the quantity is to do a disservice to the quality. The shackles of inexperience were loosening fast. By April 4, his cause furthered by a pair of Copa do Brasil walkovers (“A historic thrashing,” was O Globo’s verdict on the 10-0 victory over poor Naviraiense), the teenager had scored 14 times – as many as he managed in the entirety of the previous year. Neymar, stationed on the left of the attack but granted licence to roam, took just four games to better his tally from the 2009 edition.

The Peixe started with a 4-0 demolition of Rio Branco (Neymar and Ganso netted two beauties apiece) and rarely let up thereafter, clunking through the gears to finish the round-robin stage with 15 wins and 61 goals from 19 games. It was fitting, then, that the latter was knocking about in an unofficial Fairy Godfather role as Ganso, André and Neymar took responsibility in the São Paulo state championship.īrazil’s state leagues can be tedious at the best of times, but that 2010 edition of the Paulistão was a treat as Santos sliced through the field with juvenile abandon. In 1978, it was Juary, Pita and João Paulo who had captured hearts and minds. Diego, Elano and Robinho had followed in 2002. They were questioned in the past two weeks.Os Meninos da Vila, they called them – a starry-eyed reference to two previous groups of Santos kids who had come through the youth ranks together and shone for the senior side. No convictions have been secured in Switzerland, though criminal proceedings are also open against Infantino’s predecessor Sepp Blatter and former UEFA President Michel Platini for alleged mismanagement of FIFA funds not directly linked to World Cup bidding. Speakers at the event included diplomats from Russia and Qatar, winners of the 20 World Cup hosting votes in 2010 that FIFA later asked Swiss federal prosecutors to investigate. His funding pledge was made when signing a cooperation agreement between FIFA and the Vienna-based UN Office on Drugs and Crime, which connects international officials and programs. Their case arose from years-long American and Swiss investigations of suspected corruption in soccer that removed a generation of international leaders from office and helped lift Infantino to the FIFA presidency in 2016.
