Former Brazil international Pele brands Barcelona forward Neymar "a genius".

Former Brazil international Pele has labelled Neymar "a genius" ahead of the World Cup.

Pele, who is widely regarded as one of the best players of all time, also believes that the 22-year-old's season with Barcelona has helped him develop into a better player.

"In 1958, I was only 17 and I played club football in only my country," Pele told Times of India.

"Neymar is 22 and he has the experience of playing in Spain for one year. Times have changed now. It helps a player to adapt to different styles of football. I feel Neymar will be a better player following his stint with Barcelona. He has amazing talent.

"And he has the ability to carry the team on his shoulders like he did during the Confederations Cup. The boy is a genius."

Pele won the World Cup with Brazil in 1958, 1962 and 1970.
