In the treble winning season last year we had Neymar who had a great synergy with Messi. His runs behind the defenders of the opposition were almost always picked up by Messi with his passes,. Combine that with his clinical finishing and you had someone who was a nightmare for every team. Neymar really exploded this season though , he has been amazing throughout this season and became a complete player for me. Creating chances , scoring goals and being a constant danger when he has the ball at his feet. He was running the show in the absence of Messi.
There was alot of doubt when it came to signing Suarez after the biting incident in the WC resulting in a 4 month-ban. Would he bite someone again ? Would he be able to adapt and what many presumed play on the RW and be succesful ? He had a slow start when he finally was allowed to play. As the season progressed though , he became better and finished the season with 25 goals and 21 assists , which is amazing for a player who lacked a quite bit of playing time. While this season isn't done yet , It's safe to say Suarez has been performing better than last season. He is firing on all cylinders , scoring in almost every game and from every angle. They way he uses his body to shield the ball combined with his shooting technique is really amazing to see.
Messi last season has been the man who ran show and was one of the big reasons that Barca won the treble. Unfortunatetly this season he has been struggling with a injury but he is slowly playing back to his best. In the amount of time he was absent though , Neymar and Suarez really picked it up and were a big part of us winning against Real in the Bernabeu without Messi.
When I see the synergy these 3 players and have and the plays they pull off is just simply astonishing. The most important aspect for me why this trident is working so well , is how selfless they are playing and putting the team above individual glory. You would think a trident with so much talent would never work this well , but it does and I am really happy to be ablte to watch this Barca every week. Hope this last for as long as possible.
