The rumour came from here and went to Twitter, not the other way around. And I'm not sure what you mean about the opposite.
Pep absolutely gushes about him. He once said that Barca selling him singlehandedly cost them 2 or 3 Champions Leagues. He said he loves him and his attitude to football. In the age thing, we were in talks with both Messi and Ronaldo who were older than Neymar is now. In terms of his defensive workrate, thats a myth. He has much stronger defensive stats than Sterling for example and is comparable to a Salah. In terms of his personality, well its not like we know the bloke. People slag off Ronaldo for his personality but everybody who ever works with him says he's a fantastic leader in the dressing room and always helps out his teammates so its hard to judge someone.
