Brazil legend Pele says his country's national side should not depend so much on youngster Neymar. However, Pele feels even though the Barcelona player is already a crucial part of the set-up, he should not be given too much responsibilities while playing for the national team.

"Neymar is an extraordinary player and he is of fundamental importance to the team," the 72-year-old told Estado de Sao Paulo.

"However, we can't depend too much on him."

"Jo is in a good run of form just now but his position as Brazil's main striker isn't confirmed," Pele added.

"The attack is an area in which the team is still developing, not like the defence where it is solid."
