Neymar has divided opinion with his antics on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Speaking to talkSPORT, Lewis believes Neymar has not lived up to expectations in his career so far.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cHe\u2019s not a legend, for me. He\u2019s scored some good goals; he has been a good player.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I have seen Brazilian footballers since 1982. I have seen Socrates, Eder, Falcao, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho. I can\u2019t recall many. \u2026 or as many moments of genius from Neymar as I can from Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSo many others, even Juninho. I think Neymar has always had a huge amount of pressure on him, and I\u2019m not necessarily sure he\u2019s lived up to that pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
