The former player of the Brazilian national team Gerson assessed the chances of Neimar to get into the national team of 1970.

Legend of the Brazilian national team Gerson believes that in his time the current leader of the national team Neimar would not have got into the composition. In 1970, the Brazilian team became the world champion, and that team is considered one of the strongest in history.

"There would not be room for Neimar. Instead of whom would he play there? He could not replace Rivellino or Pele. Maybe instead of Toastao? Or Jairzinho? For him there would be no place even in the midfield, "- believes Gerson.

Moreover, Gerson believes that Neimar would not have found a place on the bench.

"We had Kazu, an incredible talent. He played great as a dozen and as a midfielder. It was a fantastic player - and he was on the replacement. Therefore, I do not think that Neimar would have a place even on the bench in that team ".

Gerson played for the Brazilian national team from 1961 to 1972. During this period, the player played 70 matches and scored 13 goals in the national team's T-shirt.
