Neymar skills: Did you see the amazing touch from Brazil star vs Serbia?
NEYMAR is renowned for his fancy footwork and fans at the World Cup got a taste of his brilliant skill in Brazil’s win over Serbia today.
Neymar has been backed by many to win the World Cup Golden Boot in Russia.
And while he so far trailing behind the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane, the Barcelona star still knows how to turn on the style.
He made sure the crowd in Moscow’s Spartak Stadium were kept entertained in Brazil’s last group game of the competition.
As the ball comes across to the Barcelona star on the wing, Neymar deftly controls it dead with his right foot behind the left leg.
He then runs forward with the ball to take on his man.

No doubt kids will be trying to replicate the magic in the playground tomorrow.
Indeed, there’s absolutely no reason why grown men and women cannot try it with a scrunched up piece of paper in the office either!
Brazil ran out 2-0 victors against Serbia on Wednesday night to book their place in the last-16.
But with Paulinho and Thiago Silva grabbing the goals, Neymar remains on a solitary strike for the tournament so far.
