BRASÍLIA
Two-goal
Neymar hailed Brazil's 4-1 victory over Cameroon as the hosts' "best
performance yet" after a man-of-the-match display that fired his team
into the last 16 on Tuesday.
"The most important thing
was the team and I think this was our best performance," said the
22-year-old after receiving his award at the National Stadium in
Brasilia.
"Not because of the number of goals we scored
but because of how we played, pressing our opponents in the way we
wanted to. Congratulations to everyone.
"We are on the right track and are growing all the time as we get closer to making our dream come true."
Brazil's
win saw them finish top of Group A on goal difference from Mexico and
took them through to a last-16 tie against Chile on Saturday in Belo
Horizonte.
"I think it will be a very difficult match.
Everyone who is watching the World Cup knows that there are no weak
teams in the competition," said Neymar, who has now scored four goals in
his first three World Cup matches, equalling a feat achieved by his
great predecessor Pele.
"Everybody is at the same level. Football is becoming harder and harder so we will be up against very strong opposition."
