Neymar And Messi in Barcelona..

[chikadinho]

If Messi alone can make the miracles he does, I imagine Messi and Neymar or better, I can't imagine...

Denis, Barça does have a lot of talent, but football is a business and winning brings a lot of money in, so a dive once in a while is a necessary evil to win.

I'm sorry but are you condoning diving? There's a reason why FIFA are working hard to eliminate diving and why many divers are rightly criticised.

I don't think Barcelona players are diving. Busquets got the bad reputation of a diver because of the incident against Inter in the Champions League. A player doesn't always dive to get a foul when a tackle is on the ball. Usually, he gets down because of the power of the challenge. If you have played soccer in a competitive match, you might understand that.

I am all for fair play, don't get me wrong. I just wonder if the Liverpool's player coach enjoyed that he got the ball out of play instead of scoring... Fair play or winning at all costs, it's a matter of character I'd say.

I'm sure that they will do their best to play well together. Both play football because they love to do that and not for the money.

I think Barca should try playing them both at the same time. They are two different types of players. Neymar is very tecnical, and can drible and score from any ancle. The same with Messi. But Messi as you mention, is more a team player. He sets his team mates up for goals. So I would like to see Messi behind Neymar fx. I think they would have a great partnership. But we need to see what Neymar is cabable of, at a higher level. If you buy Neymar for so much money, you should at least let him start a couple of games. He is still young, But I believe he is ready to play his game at a higher level

 

[siamsot]

well, so far they haven't played a lot together in a match as their new head coach does a lot of rotation and in the last match Messi was not even in the bench and Neymar got in as a substitute after 60 minutes! I believe that they haven't found the chemistry they need yet and that's why they don't play together in a match but I am eager to see the Champions League matches where they will definitely play together and witness some moments of brilliance. Neymar also scored his first competitve goal against Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup match with a header and showed some of the people who criticised him for shooting and dribbling only that he can score with a lot of ways.

Messi and Neymar in the same team, this will be interesting to see, especially in the Champions League. If they can gel together then I reckon they could get to the semis at least.

I seem to notice Messi is more of a team player although Neymar seems more of a keep the ball person, but I'm sure they will compromise for the club and do very well but it will exciting to see these 2 stars on the same pitch.

Thereore it is safe to say that divers are players of low character bringing disrepute to the game.

Barcelona is a great team but it would be foolish to suggest they don't have divers amongst their ranks.

 

[AshleyHughes]

Diving does spoil the game for me and a good few players are guilty of it but some of Barcelona's players are not angels on the pitch when it comes to faking injuries, great team by all means but they do tend to overact a few things from memory.

It's true, there are divers in every teams. There are millions involved, so beside playing football players are also actors, is a part of the deal I suppose.
