Former World Player of the Year Ronaldinho has named his successor at FC Barcelona and denied rumours he will retire from football.
When asked who he thinks will be his heir at the Blaugrana, the 35-year-old attacking midfielder named Neymar and backs the playmaker to forge a memorable career with the reigning Spanish champions.
"Yes, he's a great player and he's certainly going to make history," Ronaldinho told Marca.
"Neymar will repeat what other Brazilians have done before him."
Having terminated his contract with Fluminense in September, Ronaldinho was asked whether he would continue playing or call time on his illustrious playing career.
"Next year I'll get back to playing, but I don't know where," the buck-toothed star revealed.
"Now, I'm only thinking about resting and enjoying my holiday. I really need it."
