Neymar brought the ball under control with brilliant ease
The ball was dropped from 35 metres
One test involved dropping a ball from a massive height of 35 metres – above even the stadium roof.
And in typical Neymar fashion he led by example by bringing the ball under immediate control with a ridiculously good first touch.
With his second touch he used his knee to flick the ball into his hands – cue pandemonium from his team-mates.
They immediately began cheering and surrounding their captain gleefully.

Another commented: “Second best player in the world right now behind [Federico] Valverde. World cup next.”
There is a lot of excitement about Brazil and Neymar ahead of the World Cup with fans in India erecting a 40ft cardboard cutout of the superstar ahead of the tournament.
Brazil are also the bookies’ favourites to win the World Cup for a sixth time, having last lifted the trophy in 2002.
