Neymar explained: "The key player for Brazil? For me I think it's Rodrygo, because Vini will play everything he knows, but Rodrygo I think is very different.

"He's a star and the number 10 shirt will definitely bring him a lot of luck.'' 

Indeed, Rodrygo has taken Selecao No10 shirt in the absence of Neymar at the Copa.
