The Brazilian starlet has urged his side to remain focused ahead of the last group match, while admitting that he has got used to being a target of opposing defenders.Santos star Neymar was coy about his club's chances of progressing to the knockout round of the Copa Libertadores.Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Internacional leaves Santos two points clear at the top of Group 1, but Neymar is refusing to get carried away ahead of the last group match against Bolivian side The Strongest on April 19."The draw against Internacional was important, but nothing is decided, because we still have to play against The Strongest," Neymar told Terra.The 20-year-old has been highly critical of the excessive physical approach to the game in South America, and he was once again on the receiving end of rough challenges on Wednesday."If it was the first time that it happened, I would be scared to death, but I have got used to it," he admitted."I am finishing matches with some bruises, but I am always ready for more."
