Neymar: 'Brazil improving all the time'

Brazil star Neymar has claimed that his team are improving as the World Cup is progressing.

Speaking in the wake of the Selecao's 2-0 victory over Mexico in the last 16 of the competition, the Paris Saint-Germain forward set his sights on going all the way in Russia.

"I'm here to win. I hope I can improve always," he told reporters. "I knew that I was going to need some pace to get back to my normal tempo. I feel much better.

"I'm happy for the whole team and I congratulate my whole team and we're always improving."

Neymar opened the scoring for Brazil against Mexico, before Roberto Firmino netted at the death to guarantee their spot in the quarter-finals.
