    By Tatiana Ramil FORTALEZA, Brazil (Reuters) - Neymar, inspired by the protest movement which has swept Brazil in the last few days, gave possibly his best performance for his country in a 2-0 win over Mexico in the Confederations Cup on Wednesday. The Barcelona-bound 21-year-old, who has often struggled at international level despite his billing as the next great Brazilian player, set the hosts on their way with a stunning volley in the ninth minute, the second game in a row that he has got …

Sampdoria vice-president Edoardo Garrone fears that speculation about Antonio Cassano's possible return to his former club could go on all summer, and possibly longer.

The Italy international left Samp for AC Milan in January 2011, and quickly became an important first-team member at the Rossoneri. However, Cassano is keen to return to the Ligurian capital this summer, and he has been linked with both the Blucerchiati and Genoa in recent weeks.

Even though Garrone has all but ruled out a move for the player, he expects there to be plenty of talk about a transfer over the next few months.

"I can only say one thing on the matter and that's that the Cassano story will be a nightmare all summer long, and probably even after that," Garrone stated to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Cassano has a contract with Milan until the summer of 2014.
