Robinho told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "He is very strong. He is currently the best thing in Brazilian football." "He is fast, smart, and can score a lot of goals; he is a pure genius. Want a prediction? He will win the Ballon d'Or." Robinho also talked about Santos teammate of Neymar, Ganso, who might join Inter Milan this summer according to rumors, but Robinho believes he will end up at AC Milan like himself. AC Milan forward Robinho has high expectations for the 18-year-old Neymar from Santos, believing that he will eventually win the Ballon d'Or.
In the South American U-20 Youth Championship held in Colombia, Neymar's performance was outstanding, and Robinho trusts in his unlimited potential.
"I don't think Ganso will go to Inter," said Robinho. "He is a Milan supporter, which is good news. I really hope to play with him again. He is an undiscovered genius."
