Neymar: ‘Messi, Suarez and I silenced critics’ Barcelona forward says
When the insane rumors regarding Barcelona superstar Neymar Jr. and a possible record-breaking transfer to Manchester United finally ended, many people thought this whole spectacle was just a plot by the player’s entourage to get the Catalan giants to give him an huge raise and a contract extension.
“It was all wonder when the treble was won, when the UEFA Super Cup was won, and now, having lost one or two games, the team are already being judged for a few things, which I think makes no sense”, Suarez said. “The city helps me a lot and I’m very happy”.
“I’ve got three more years on my contract and I leave these issues with my father”, he explained.
“When asked specifically about wanting to renew at Barcelona, he added” “Of course, but that is something we will talk about further down the line”. My only concern at the moment is to be focused on helping the team and to keep winning titles with Barca.
Neymar added that Messi, 28, was sure to win the award this year however, and said he was in no hurry to take over from his teammate as the world’s best. He’s the best and an idol for me.
The Barcelona forward has netted four times in six games in the Spanish top-flight this term.
With Messi now sidelined with a knee ligament injury, Neymar insists he is ready to handle the pressure of becoming Barca’s focal point in attack.
“I knew that was not going to happen because those sort of things don’t affect me”.
“We have to do more than we have been to beat our opponents”, he said.
