Neymar is no doubt a football genius. I believe that if he can focus all his attention on training and playing, he can perform on par with Messi.
On the other hand, Munir is the one who needs to prove more
The goal keeper of Elche was just standing still when Messi scored both of his goals. Messi is a special player. His only weakness, if any, is that sometimes he lacks motivation. If a coach can somehow stimulate Messi so that he always goes all out in all Barca's matches, then the coach will...
Manchester United chose and won against giant teams in their pre-season matches, and yesterday they lost against Swansea in their first EPL match, at Old Trafford.
Even with Suarez added to our arsenal, according to William Hills, we are only the third strongest team in Europe: Barca is considered weaker than Bayern and Real Madrid this year.
Neymar's performance is unpredictable. Besides his awesome games, there are some really mediocre ones too. That's why I agree with someone above on the fact that Neymar is not in the top 5 of the world (yet).
Barca: Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Pedro, Xavi
Madrid: Bale, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Isco, Kroos, Benzema, James
IMO Madrid has slightly stronger firepower than us this season.
If I were Platini, I wouldn't do it as obviously as you said, because it would rise suspicion. I believe UEFA has, to some extent, controlled the draw's result.
Before the match against Man City, I wandered around their fan forums, and I often saw their slogan: "In Pique we trust".
At first I thought it was only a joke. Now I realize that they were serious.
We should let Xavi play less to make the best use of his ability. Nowadays Xavi should play only 50% of the number of games he used to play in his prime. Only in difficult games we needs him. And he should use his free time to pass his skills and experience to younger players, like Sergi...
Be more optimistic, bro.
We will enter the match knowing that our opponent is strong and we could lose if we are not at our best. This is a rare match in which we are considered the weaker side. However, this is also the reason why the players will fight with everything they have to prove...
I would like to see Neymar playing from the start. With Iniesta-Messi-Neymar upfront, we will score at least 1 goal at the enemy's territory. Away goals are always very important, and Tata knows that.
Neymar is not in the starting line-up again. Why is it so hard for Tata to use both of them? :facepalm:
Thailand is a good opponent for us to test the efficiency of the duo. They are not weak, but not strong either.
I'm from Vietnam, so I know the Thailand national football team. They are the strongest team in ASEAN. A few days ago they even beat Man UTD 1-0. They will be a good training opponent for us.
