The title of the South American Under-20 won by Brazil, has brought out the new values of Brazilian football. Between them, Lucas and Neymar are the greatest exponents.

Neymar had already won some popularity by playing at Santos. He arrived at the main selection and is being constantly targeted by proposed European teams.

Lucas, who has less time as a professional player, had not gained the same popularity so far. Playing for Sao Paulo, came to the first team in the second half of 2010, and played a single league, the Brasileirão that year.

In the field, both shone in the conquest of the Brazilian team.

The difference between the two is that Neymar seems far more concerned with the way it will appear in the video than with the game. Therefore, search the dribble all the time, even when unnecessary, angering the opponent and creating controversy. It seems that everything Neymar want is to create controversy, to enhance its image as a skilled player and daring. In Brazil, we call the player thus masked.

Lucas has a different profile. In the game against Ururguai, picked up the ball twice and scored two great goals. Solved the game for Brazil. Still, he continued playing seriously, trying to score goals and passes before leaving the field with applauses.

Lucas has a profile that resembles the seriousness of Lionel Messi. Play beautiful, but with great objectivity. Already Neymar, remember what makes Cristiano Ronaldo a media phenomenon. Stylish haircut, mannerisms and movements not always objectives.

Remember that both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two best players in the world today, but being more objective and less media, the Argentine has more value.

To Neymar, it's good to be aware of this. Lucas, by contrast, has the qualifications required to become a great player like Messi. But he should worry about keeping focus. Many promises of Brazilian football were lost along the way, due to the fascination with success.

That does not mean that Lucas has a more promising future than the Neymar, but that the athlete from Sao Paulo, has a profile that fits more easily in big teams in world football.

This is relevant because the Brazilian soccer has taken other examples of world-class athletes, but that did not sell because of its lack of objectivity in the games. Cases of Denilson and Djalminha, even though he had great talent, failed to achieve the same successes of athletes less skilled and more focused, such as Rivaldo and Kaka.

Currently, who benefits from the talent of these new players are Sao Paulo and Santos, who can win important titles, and in future negotiations with inevitable million profit.

But who should celebrate it is the supporter of the Brazilian team, which in addition to already see Pato, Robinho and Hernanes the potential to play the next World Cup, has these two guys and a new hope for the renewal of Brazilian football.

It's amazing how Brazil can renew their teams. Today, with the success of Spain, it becomes inevitable to ask whether after the generation of Xavi, Iniesta and Villa, new names arise as to maintain the same level of football produced today.

There is the possibility that this generation to be ephemeral, and in the future, the Spanish football is no longer the power it became. In Brazil, due to the emergence of players like Neymar and Lucas, seems to stop being a power is inconceivable.
