When Neymar arrived at Camp Nou, there was a lot of controversy around his transfer fee and the alleged hidden tax fraud by the club’s leadership.
However, Neymar’s name was cleared of any wrong-doings and he slowly got used to life in Spain as well as the pressure which comes with playing for the Catalan giants.
But the major change has happened in the 22-year-old’s physique.
While Neymar only weighed 64.5 kilogram, Marca report that he picked up four to five kilos.
Barcelona’s backroom staff quickly noticed that Neymar was a light-weight in European football when he arrived, and subsequently he could often be physically bullied by his opponents.
The club’s medical department then put together a long-term training and fitness program, which helped him to grow some muscles, while not losing his pace.
A specific diet high in carbohydrates and protein, with additional vitamin supplements, accompany his workouts in the gym, according to the report.
The result can be seen on the pitch, as Neymar appears stronger than ever in one-on-ones and no longer easily falls over following minimal contact.
