During his appearance on the show “Le Vestiaire” on RMC Sport, Camara said:
“He is the strongest player I have ever played against.”
These words are not thrown out lightly. During a match against PSG, Neymar literally dazzled everyone with a strangely casual but terribly effective performance.
“We had the impression that he wasn’t even making an effort. He wasn’t playing the same football as us,” Camara said.
Neymar’s impact on the pitch doesn’t stop at his technical prowess. Camara relays a revealing anecdote about the post-match atmosphere in the dressing room.
“After the game, we all sat in the locker room and said, ‘Is this the top three in the world?’”
This reflects the unanimity of the astonishment shared among his teammates in the face of a player of exceptional caliber. Neymar, on this particular day, surpassed the expectations of the professional game, leaving his opponents not frustrated, but admiring.
🎙️ABDOUL CAMARA:
(Ex Guingamp player)
“Neymar is best player I’ve ever played against. We felt like he wasn’t trying. He wasn’t playing the same football as us…
We couldn’t do anything, really… We felt like spectators, like kids watching him.” 🇧🇷

Camara justified this admiration with a comparison of striking simplicity.
“There was really nothing we could do… We felt like spectators, like kids watching him play.”
Camara’s respect and appreciation for Neymar goes beyond a simple appreciation of skills.
“At the end of the game I said to myself that I would pay to play against him again. It’s really something special,” he added.
These words underline a deep desire to relive an exceptional experience, even at the cost of personal effort. This is a testament not only to Neymar’s quality as a player, but also to his ability to create a lasting sense of privilege in his opponents.
