The Ballon d'Or is on Neymar's mind, but his personal ambition isn't his sole reason for playing football.
A sensational 2017 has shown what the Brazilian star is capable of, and he looks bent on showing his talent is as great as his initial promise signalled.
"I want to win the Ballon d'Or, but I'm in no hurry to do so," Neymar told Sport Express.
"It is one of my objectives, something I dream of, but personal ambition isn't why I play the game.
"I play because I like to and enjoy helping the team and making fans happy- only once I do that do I hope to achieve personal records."
His relationship with the rest of Barcelona's strike force is one of the reasons behind his success. "Messi and Suarez are friends off of the pitch," he continued. "On the pitch, we complement each other to perfection."They are players I admire.
"Finally, the PSG comeback was still on Neymar's mind, as is the possibility of reaching the 2018 World Cup in Russia. "I've never felt anything like what happened when Sergi Roberto scored the sixth goal against PSG," Neymar said.
"Having said that, the Olympic gold in Rio was the most important win in my career.
"I hope Brazil can win the World Cup in 2018."
