Star Brazilian striker Neymar said on Friday that he would never be better than Pele and insisted he was not interested in impressing his many European suitors at the Club World Cup.The much-coveted Santos player, 19, has been touted as one of the planet’s finest prospects and linked with a host of top European clubs, with Spanish giants Real Madrid understood to be leading the charge for his signature.But he signed a two-year contract extension last month with the Copa Libertadores winners and told a press conference in Japan ahead of his side’s opening Club World Cup appearance that comparisons with legend Pele were wrong.“He’s the one and only, he’s the king of football,” said Neymar, sporting his trademark blond bouffant hairdo.“To reach his level is something I don’t think I can do.” “For me, I’m not trying to prove anything here,” the international said, attempting to bat away persistent questions about his future.”
