The tricky attacker is dreaming of finding the net in Sunday's showpiece at the Maracana and expects a tight encounter between both finalists
Neymar has voiced his admiration for Iker Casillas and is
desperate to guide Brazil to victory in Sunday's Confederations Cup final
against Spain.
The Selecao beat Uruguay 2-1 in the semi-finals to book
their ticket for this weekend's showpiece, while the reigning world champions
proved to be too strong for Italy after penalties.
"I have always had great admiration for many
players. Casillas is one of the greatest keepers in the world – now and
always," the 21-year-old told AS.
"I have huge respect and admiration for him.
Everyone would love to have him in their side, but on Sunday I hope to have the
honour of scoring against him.
"It’s going to be a great game. Everyone is really
looking forward to it. It’s a clash between two historic national sides, two
teams with a lot of tradition.
"Spain with their star players and Brazil, with
their stars. I hope that it’s a match which everyone enjoys and that Brazil end
as the winners."
Sunday's encounter is scheduled to kick off at midnight
CET
