The Brazilian legend (Pele) says that his compatriot (Neymar) has a great talent but he doesn't think he is on the same level with
his Barcelona teammate Messi and Real Madrid star Ronaldo.
Neymar who scored 31 goals in all competition, finished third behind Messi and Ronaldo in Ballon d'Or voting after helping Barca to a treble in 2014-15.
But Pele, perhaps the greatest player of all time "for some", insist that his country man is not yet in the same level as Messi and Ronaldo.
"I've known Neymar since he was little and many years ago his coaches told me he was very good," Pele told Marca .
"That is so but he doesn't have the quality of Ronaldo or Messi."
"If I had to say who the number one player is today, I would say Lionel. The Portuguese has a different style of play but the best is Messi, in my opinion."
Asked about Neymar and whether he overplays the game at times, Pele added: "Not everyone does this - Zico didn't and nor did Pele - so it's not common to everyone"
"Each one has his own style. But you have to always respect your opponent, like Romario did for example."
