Neymar says that the Brazil squad does not fear Team GB after beating them 2-0 last Friday.

Brazil striker Neymar does not believe that Team GB will be a gold-medal threat at the Olympics.

The 20-year-old scored from the spot as Brazil beat Stuart Pearce's men 2-0 at the Riverside Stadium on Friday night.

The Santos star hinted that David Beckham's presence may have given the team a better balance.

"With them playing at home I thought Team GB could be a potential threat to Brazil for the gold medal, but after playing them I am not so sure that I see it anymore," said Neymar. "The feeling amongst Brazil is that they are not a team to be feared.

"It is not just that Brazil defeated them it is the manner of the way we did it.

"There did not seem any organisation or flow to their play. I said how surprised I was when David Beckham was omitted from the squad, and maybe his presence and experience would have given them more shape."

Team GB open their campaign against Senegal, while Brazil's opener pits them against Egypt.
