No, he shouldn't. No, he isn't.
Neymar isn't physically strong but what he has is a wriggly style, quick feet and speed to get away from opponents. That and he's clever, he can take a touch and throw himself to the ground when he thinks he is going to lose the ball.
Dybala has that same wiry kind of build, excellent agility, balance and close control. Giovinco spent his time trying to convince himself he could go toe-to-toe with strong players in a central role as a forward. He has no balance.

Di Maria is another example. Leave the bulking for the British. Skilled SAs should never be turned into a bull, it ruins them.

I disagree about Neymar to be honest. He doesn't deal that well with physical contact, obviously he does well to avoid it with his cleverness, pace and wrigly style but I would consider him a player that does not have strong balance in physical contact.
Alexis Sanchez, Aguero, Messi those players are a different story though, despite their relative lack of height, those players hold their own in physical contact and are extremely difficult to brush off the ball.
Oh ya this I definitely agree with. The difference between this year and last year is also obvious. IMO it wouldn't be a disaster if he doesn't bulk up, he seems to do quite well to avoid physical contact, and use his body to gain fouls when he knows theres a chance he'll lose the ball(he's quite clever at that) so in his case, I'd say it probably is better if he doesn't bulk up and lose that wrigly style of his.
