Neymar's comrade at the PSG, Belgian Meunier admits: "I do not know how to stop him" | world Cup

As he works daily with Neymar, Meunier has the habit of marking him at training. Does it have the recipe to stop the Seleção 10's shirt? The Belgian player was sincere and praised his colleague.

– (laughs) I do not know how to stop it. He is very unpredictable. Neymar is probably the best player I have ever played with. Against him too (when he was in Barcelona). Whatever it is, I will do my best. I know I have my chance, I also know that it's very complicated to stop them, not just Neymar. Coutinho, Firmino, Jesus, Marcelo … All the team! They have a lot of qualities. It's complicated, face the best team in the world. We have a chance, but it will be quite complicated – told GloboEsporte.com after the victory over Japan from 3 to 2 in the octaves.

Meunier played favoritism for Brazil and said that Belgium must give beyond the maximum if they really want to move to the semifinals of the World Cup.

– I'm waiting for a difficult game, it's simple. We are not favorites for the World Cup. To win Brazil, you must be 100%, 120% of your mental and physical ability. It's already a finale for us. We know we have the quality and the community to beat them, but we also know it will not be easy.

For this promising Belgian generation, which still has not achieved significant results, the match against the Brazilian national team is an opportunity to give the level jump dreamed, not just in theory .

– The biggest challenge of my career? I hope to play a few more years (laughs). I do not know. With the selection, it is probably the most important match up here, not only for me, but for everyone in general – said the right back.

Finally, Meunier always ensures that he will make no bet with his colleague Neymar before the duel between Brazil and Belgium.

– I will not do it. Every time I bet, I lose each time (laughs). If I have to lose, let it be just the game. No money, no dinner, or anything else. We are motivated and I wish them not only Neymar, but also Marquinhos and Thiago Silva, a very good match – he concluded, also remembering other PSG teammates.
