Brazil head coach Dunga believes Neymar has been better than is Barcelona teammate Leo Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo who have been sharing the Ballon d'Or between them since 2008.
"Neymar is playing at a superior level because Messi is injured and Cristiano Ronaldo hit a very high point last year, and that's why a lot is being demanded of him now", Said Dunga.
"Neymar has improved consistently since he arrived at Barcelona [in 2013]," Dunga said. "He has done all that was expected of him with Messi out. He's in great form."
Since Leo Messi's injury Neymar Jr has scored 10 goals for Barcelona.
Neymar missed Brazil's first two World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Venezuela due to a ban for violent conduct after being sent off in Brazil's 1-0 loss against Colombia in the group stage of the Copa America earlier this year.
Brazil play Argentina in Buenos Aires on Thursday and are at home to Peru on Nov. 18. with their Captain now available for action.
