Can Neymar deliver Brazil's elusive Olympics Gold

Can Neymar deliver Brazil's elusive Olympics Gold

sport sammiep   01:04:00

Brazilians are counting on Neymar to finally deliver a first football Olympic gold medal.

Brazilian footballer Neymar takes part in a training session at the Fire Department Training Center in Brasilia, on 

RIO DE JANEIRO

Brazil has barely got over its World Cup disaster and now it is counting on Barcelona star Neymar to finally deliver a treasured first football Olympic gold medal.

Olympic gold is the only international title to elude Brazil in an illustrious history that has seen A Selecao win five World Cups.

And Brazilian football is in desperate need of a pick-me-up after the humiliating 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany at their own World Cup two years ago and a group stage exit at the Copa America Centenario in June.

Golden boy Neymar has been untarnished by the failures.

Two broken vertebrae in his back suffered near the end of a quarter-final win over Colombia left Brazil without their talisman against the Germans two years ago.

And as part of an agreement between Barcelona and the Brazilian federation, Neymar skipped the Copa America — which sealed Dunga's fate as Brazil coach for the second time — to ensure he is fresh for the Olympics.

STARLETS IN SUPPORT

Rogerio Micale will take charge after leading Brazil to the under-20 World Cup final last year. Like the fans he also expects Neymar to deliver.

He said: "I want to be dependent on Neymar. What coach in the world would not want a Neymar in their team?

"Neymar has exceeded my expectations. He is appreciated, he's a good guy with a huge heart especially around the younger players.

"He has shown that he is more than just a great player — he's a great man admired by everybody."

Neymar was part of the Brazil side shocked by Mexico in the final of the 2012 Olympics, whilst even the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho have come up short when charged with delivering gold.

However, Brazil are strong favourites to end their wait as on top of home advantage, they also possess by far the strongest squad on paper.

Each team is restricted to just three players over the age of 23 in their 18-man squads.

Wonder kids Gabriel Barbosa and Gabriel Jesus, both tipped to make big money moves to Europe from Santos and Palmeiras respectively after the Games, will support Neymar in attack.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint Germain defender Marquinhos and Neymar's Barcelona teammate Rafinha are also among Micale's squad.

Brazil open their campaign against South Africa in Brasilia, one of six Olympic football host cities, before facing Iraq and Denmark in Group A.
Their biggest threat is likely to come from eternal rivals Argentina.

Atletico Madrid's Angel Correa and Giovanni Simeone — son of Atletico boss Diego Simeone — formed a lethal partnership in scoring 13 goals to win the 2015 South American under-20 championships to qualify.

They face Portugal in the match of the opening round at the Rio Olympic stadium on Thursday in a group also containing Honduras and Algeria.

World champions Germany can call on the experience of the Bender twins Lars and Sven of Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund as two of their overage players.

A return to Brazil holds particularly fond memories for Dortmund full-back Matthias Ginter, who was part of the German squad that won the World Cup two years ago.

Ginter has shown his commitment to the cause by flying almost 20,000km in four days as he headed back from China with Dortmund on Friday before jetting off to Brazil.

"I'm still young and you have to take the chances offered to you. The Olympics are special. We're all motivated and want to reach the final in Rio," said the 22-year-old.

Germany start against 2012 gold medallists Mexico in Salvador before facing Fiji and South Korea in Group C.

Group B appears the closest to call as Sweden, Colombia, Nigeria and Japan all start with realistic ambitions of reaching the quarter-finals.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic takes family bowling after debut strike for Manchester United against Galatasaray

Zlatan Ibrahimovic takes family bowling after debut strike for Manchester United against Galatasaray

Zlatan Ibrahimovic enjoyed his Sunday afternoon ten pin bowling

After knocking the proverbial pins down in his Manchester United debut, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was after a different kind of strike on Sunday.

Ibrahimovic starred in his homeland Sweden on Saturday, scoring for the Red Devils in a 5-2 victory over Galatasaray at Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium.

The 34-year-old was back in his adopted home on Sunday, enjoying some quality time at a local Manchester ten pen bowling alley with his family.

The Swede attended the All Star Lanes in the city centre in the afternoon as he continues to acclimatise to England's to the North West of England.

The bowling alley is close to the hotel Ibrahimovic is currently calling home and after going for a roll the superstar striker got into a familiar silver Mercedes S500.

The car is the same vehicle that Louis Van Gaal owned before he received his marching orders at the end of last season, even baring the same number plate.

Ibrahimovic earned his relaxation time with a stunning bicycle kick barely four minutes into his debut against Galatasary on Saturday, which ensured the hype will continue to build ahead of the Premier League season opener.

Ibrahimovic will next feature for Jose Mourinho's side against Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial before his competitive bow the weekend after.

United face Leicester City in the Community Shield on August 7 before getting their Premier League campaign underway against Bournemouth a week later.

The club made contact with West Ham for the seventeen-year-old last night and Pep Guardiola’s scouts have been watching the midfield play for England during the recent U19 European Championships.

Several other clubs in the Premier League have been monitoring Oxford, but City have made the first move with a direct approach.

West Ham have already turned down a £10m bid from German cash-flush side Red Bull Leipzig for their player earlier in the summer, but will be expecting a much larger offer from Guardiola’s outfit.

The Hammers now face a difficult problem as to whether allow Man City’s approach and accept an appropriate bid or rebuff all offers and allow Oxford to develop with the club.

However, the player himself may be keen to join City to receive a footballing education from arguably the best manager in the world.

Oxford became West Ham’s youngest ever player in their history when he made his Premier League debut in August.

Aged 16, Oxford put in a composed performance against Arsenal on the opening day of the last campaign when West Ham defeated the Gunners 2-0.

West Ham have strengthened this summer by signing Sofiane Feghouli and Havard Nordtveit whilst also holding on to key man Dimitri Payet.

However, Oxford turned down a new deal at the end of last season, which suggests that the lure of a larger pay packet at the Etihad may tempt him into a move.

West Ham are believed to value the prodigy at £15m.
