FC BARCELONA

The former Barça player said in an interview with FIFA Neymar falls short of Messi and Cristiano.

One of the key players Barça of Rijkaard, that so many good titles won but ended up in a crisis that led to the signing of Guardiola as coach, is Deco. The player of 34 years gave an interview to FIFA.com.

The Portuguese environment compared Bombonera for Boca in the Camp Nou. Two stages to intimidate the other teams, "teams from other countries came to Camp Nou and intimidated by the size of the stadium, the mystique and the number of people, while Spanish teams and were more accustomed. I think it's same with the Bombonera: Sometimes, some foreign teams that are even better than some Argentines, have more difficulties there because they are impressed with the environment is, indeed, impressive. "

From their position and play on the field, Deco admitted that since childhood has always been responsible for the construction of the plays, and that the global example of this is Barça: "Building a play that ends in goal has always filled me both as dial. course, over time, I also changed my style. not only for having lost in explosion physics and starts, but because I learned a lot about the collective game. A good example is the Barcelona always have great players but nobody ever haggle just for bargain, only when necessary. "

Of course, Deco remembered his time with Rijkaard and the current Barça model of world football paradigm: "Barcelona is a club whose teams vary according to the players, but in that culture does not change. And this concept of playing the ball has reached perfection with Guardiola, who is someone who knows the culture. the big difference with this team is that our players have these characteristics in all positions, while we had about four or five. it's amazing: the most skilled players of Barça do not send the ball up if you may lose, but they touch. And that requires not only quality, too mentality. "

On a future possibility Barça, Neymar says he is at the level of Messi and Cristiano, and it will look when you take the leap to Europe: "Neymar, in my view, already at that level. Has in common with the other two that ability to score so many goals, despite not being a center forward. I think if he were at Real Madrid or Barcelona, it would still more than it does today, because they have better players at his side, a better structure ... We must take into account the proportions: on the one hand, it is clear that the technical level of Brazil does not reach a semifinal of the Champions League of UEFA, but also need to address different problems. it is not easier or more difficult: it is different. Thinking only at the technical level, in my opinion falls short of a Messi or a Cristiano. " (via SPORT)

Sandro Ranieri, Tottenham's Brazilian midfielder, revealed in COMRàdio that Gareth Bale "would play at Barça."

"Bale is quiet but certainly want to play at Barça." This forceful was Sandro Ranieri, Tottenham midfielder, told the journalist COMRàdio that forward Eric Jiménez.

And Mundo Deportivo reported that the club azulgrana in a timely management to disable the interest of other teams, advanced 10 million euros in pay and signal to Santos, club owner of the rights of skilled Brazilian forward, who should pay twice if Barça break his agreement. (via MD)

Maradona has no doubt that Messi is the best in the world and takes the opportunity to lash out at the last words of Pelé.

Diego Armando Maradona is his particular war with Pelé but this time with Messi as the protagonist.

A few days ago the Brazilian star said Neymar was the best in the world saying that if Messi wants to hold that status "you first have to beat him."

Well, when Maradona was asked about Pelé's words, not his tongue and came out in defense of his compatriot: " What nonsense! Neymar may be the best player in the world, but only if he says Messi is from another planet, "added the coach of Al Wasl. (via SPORT)

The Brazilian Pelé is obsessed with belittling the achievements of Leo Messi, who does not consider the best ever since he believes that it still has to overcome to Neymar.

"He's a star, fine. But for Messi to be the best of all, you must first achieve better than Neymar" said legendary ex player Brazilian, who still had more words about the '10 'azulgrana. "The only thing that exceeds Messi to Neymar is that is more experienced," said three-time world champion.

Undoubtedly, some statements in addition to those made in recent months by Pelé, bent on putting the same level Neymar that the player Argentina. Something that, without belittling the Santos, is far from reality. (via SPORT)

The tight schedule of Barça in recent weeks, with games three and four days, and the unexpected comeback in la Liga, have managed to soundproof the work of the offices of the Camp Nou.

Little information has been leaked on the 2012-2013 project signings despite the sporting fever keeps busy as ever at this point in the season.

Andoni Zubizarreta, its technical team, Vice President Josep Maria Bartomeu and Director of Football Raul Sanllehí, with the approval of Pep Guardiola, has not stopped a moment to shape the plan devised last November with the first of the five previous summits to negotiations.

According to MD has been known, the club these days intensify contacts with obvious priority signings profile Barça and have passed an initial screening. The urgency is to strengthen the defense and in particular the left full-back.

The name of Jordi Alba, of Valencia, is among the first in the list and have already held several informative talks. There is no pre-arrangement although the consent of dialogue under basic conditions

With Oier as third goalkeeper, the possibility of the arrival of a centre-back and a forward of wing also on the agenda azulgrana. Depend on the budget is left of the initial investment of 50 million and sales more than likely that would occur in summer.

Afellay, Adriano and Keita are ringing frequently in the international market while at the Camp Nou is suspected that at some oferton for some crack. Thiago Silva, centre-back of Milan, led the second group of reinforcements. Neymar is a case of exceptional performance.

The first issue, however, expect to close the renewal of Pep. They are so convinced of it does not hinder the final decision is delayed in time. (via MD)

Santos forward suffered a painful sprained left foot that made him withdraw from the last workout.

The Brazilian international Neymar suffered this Wednesday a setback in training with Santos that made him leave the premises in tears.

As reported by some Brazilian media, Neymar shock when he was injured while trying to complete a personal action. The '11' Santos sprained his left foot to err on the beating of a shot and ended up on the floor between clear signs of pain and even crying.

The Brazilian ace was quickly attended to by doctors of the club, who helped him leave the facility. Despite the scare, Neymar is expected to participate in the next meeting of the Santos without major complications. (via SPORT)

The end of the operation would be around 58 million.
Barça would advance and 25% of the total operation.

As announced by the Cadena Ser, FC Barcelona has pressed the accelerator to the hiring of Neymar, which is currently in the discipline of Santos, the Catalan club come within the next two seasons. The target date would be June 2014, and might even be incorporated before, a line that once already made Mundo Deportivo, in a story that explores how wide was attached to Neymar.

According the same source, both the player and his father, and would have given its good for your arrival Barça, but his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, would not be much for the work. Neymar is eager to come to the Catalan club, as told in his own day Guardiola.

As announced Mundo Deportivo in their day, the final amount of the operation would be around 58 million euros, and Barça and would advance 25% of the total, ie 14.5 million. Moreover, in the event that the Santos broke the agreement and allow the entry of another club in the negotiations would have to compensate the Barça with 20 million. A signing that would have cleared itself Messi and Alves, among others, and the Blaugrana fans, who would welcome the arrival of the Brazilian player. (via MD)

Most Internet users MD advocates the signing of Brazilian.

Neymar da Silva is the signing. At least, is what the fans want Barça to start the next season. It is the overwhelming conclusion from the survey suggested that Mundo Deportivo on their website to know the feelings of public opinion following the news in yesterday's edition starring our cover under the headline "Operation Goal 'with the addition of a scorer.

Barça aims to strengthen his attack and Neymar is the priority for the club. One of every two votes cast in our digital survey, which exceeded 4,000 votes last night, also opt for advancing the arrival of skilled striker Santos, whom Sandro Rosell policy is under control after securing a preferential option and give as payment and signal 10 million.

That 49% Neymar as ideal reinforcement stands out among the options put forward by MD as goals in Barça's portfolio. The fear caused by his image has been losing ground to the Brazilian soccer spectacular.

Strain the force between the preferences of fans Dutchman Robin van Persie, with a remarkable 23%. Arsenal forward, as reported at the time MD, out of contract in 2013, is dragging its renewal by the Gunners for months and would be crazy about the possibility of reuniting with his friend Cesc Fàbregas at the Camp Nou .

For now, Barça has not moved tab on this, but should not rule out Van Persie, a scorer who at 28 years is in the peak of his career and, with 26 goals, is the top scorer of the Premier .

The other two names forward as an alternative MD do not enjoy today, from a backup so clear. One is the promising Adrian, who is starring in a great season in his first year at Atletico after pointing a lot in the beginning with Deportivo.

Adrián, with a buyout clause of 18 million, has 10% of the back of the votes counted in our survey digital good evidence that among the culés would be well below Neymar.

The other is candidatable Roberto Soldado, who has taken the gallons in Valencia has 20 goals and officers. His buyout clause amounts to 35 million. Perhaps because of his past Madridista, Soldado has not won over netizens MD (6%) as the ideal signing. (via MD)

Neymar (Sao Paulo, 1992) was born azulgrana long ago. Although renewed with Santos until 2014, Barça moved swiftly to fend his way to Real Madrid and make a future contract.

Pact with the Brazilian club, as it advanced this newspaper, and in return a preferential option disbursed 10 million euros. A deposit will not be, no means sunk.

If the Santos succumb to the temptation to sell to another club, your policy would pay double the investment culé. Barça also has a costly penalty if you decide not to sign him. They are condemned to understand and know it.

The setting is as idyllic. It only remains to solve the mystery of its incorporation. Neymar signed the extension considering the 2014 World Cup to be held in his country, but do not rule out the Camp Nou anticipate their landing. This year or next.

In recent weeks sounds strongly the possibility of incorporating this summer. In the club culé there is absolute silence but if true arrival paralyze any other purpose. Neymar Neymar and only priority. More than enough to cram the front of goals. (via MD)

Barça want to avoid emergencies of this year and looking for the signing of a forward.
Neymar is the priority, but manages a national list of very solvent.

Barça is maturing the idea of ​​strengthening the attacker of the project 2012-2013 with a credit transfer. Although the team players have been covered with emergency credit from the first team, who are numerous, the Blaugrana technical secretary does not want a repeat of this situation of extreme pressure load of responsibility and the youth ahead of schedule. The transition from 'B' to the first team to be implemented step by step and not suddenly.

Injuries have strangled the daily team throughout the season. Villa broke into the Club World Cup for four months, Alexis has lost up to 13 games by four physical mishaps and Pedro, 11 for three incidents which prevented him from catching up now with the rhythm.

Messi has 50 goals but not always provide this enormous efficiency and Cuenca and Tello have provided much more than expected. After studying it carefully, in the Camp Nou concluded that Barça of the immediate future need of a forward of experience.

Neymar is always the priority. If you come this summer, the other candidates will be discarded. Otherwise, focus tracking, as has been told MD, a national player glued Villa style, to fit the budget for signings to be 50 million and not devoted exclusively to an attacker. Adrián and Soldado are most like. (via MD)

After his last performance in the Libertadores, in Brazil come to Neymar as similar to crack of Barça.

While Leo Messi is the undisputed number 1 recognized worldwide, as well as credited, among other things, his last three Ballon d'Ors, Neymar is the great reference in Brazil.

The crack of Santos has always shown his admiration for the Argentine star Barça to the point of admitting that "Messi is above all. I am a fan."

In fact, Neymar takes into Messi to its main source of inspiration within a football field, as was demonstrated last Wednesday.

A few hours after the magic '10' Barçadazzle at Camp Nou scoring five goals that brought him into the history of the Champions, '11' peixe wanted to pay particular tribute to his signing Messi hat-trick in the Libertadores to Internacional, one of them in the style Messi against Getafe.

This therefore meant the 2-0 Santos and in which Neymar started from midfield and after leaving three defenders sitting managed to beat the goal of the International, has earned for Brazilian striker has renamed 'Mohicans' with the nickname "Neymessi '.

The prestigious Brazilian newspaper 'Lance' was so eloquent in the chronicle of the clash between Santos and Internacional de Porto Alegre. "'Neymessi" read the headline of the story. "Another magical night Neymar scores three and guarantee victory against Inter Santos," explained the journalist inside of 'Lance'.

While Barça is slowly but steadily to ensure the signing of Neymar in the future, the crack of the Santos enjoy the game of Messi as an amateur again, who knows, dreaming of someday being able to share equipment with Leo.

Aware that still has a long road ahead and much to learn from the crack azulgrana, Neymar pays tribute to the king of football whenever he asks. And after the final of Japan, does not hesitate to ask for his shirt. (via MD)

Neymar, the crack young Santos is the big goal in a Barça attack that has already advanced a sum as part payment of their future transfer, which would be between 40 and 50 million euros.

Although the Brazilian international's intention is not to leave the country before the 2014 World Cup, the club azulgrana does not rule out signing to strengthen further their attack this year has been undermined by the long-term injury Afellay and Villa, or problems Alexis physical.

In addition, Barça appreciates that Neymar is a player who fits any band. His last two great goals in the Copa Libertadores against International confirm that you are ready to make the jump to Europe. Well advised by Dani Alves, the talents of Santos keeps throwing winks his beloved Barca and Messi. Form a dream pair next to the '10' Argentina. (via MD)

Barça worked relentlessly to design the template for the next course.
A centre-back, a polyvalent left back and a star attacker goals.

While remaining just over 100 days to formally end the 2011-12 season, Barça has already started to design the next school year. There will be a revolution, because it has a young group, and solvent quality, but something short of troops due to injury, which forced to resort to the subsidiary.

A centre-back, a polyvalent left back and a crack attacker are not ruling out another position, the goals you set in which, without doubt, the most desired 'transfer' would be the continuation of Pep Guardiola.

The Barça sports management, headed by Andoni Zubizarreta, working on several signings with Barça profile. Susana Monje, treasurer of the club, announced that there will be 50 million euros to invest in new players. A figure similar to what was spent last year with Cesc and Alexis.

Thiago Silva (Milan) is one of the most like to strengthen the center of a rear (without losing sight of Javi Martínez) in which there will be new face to the left back.

Jordi Alba (Valencia) is well placed and Kolarov (City) is an alternative. But the 'bomb' in the summer would see Neymar with Barça. Santos says the star of Barca in 2014, but the time can be shortened. 'Neymessi' is left wanting and knows that it's time to sign for Barcelona, his club dreams. (via MD)

The crack of Santos reiterated his admiration for the genius of Barca.

Neymar, author of a hat trick in his last match of the Copa Libertadores for Santos, had words of praise for Leo Messi, who starred alongside his most important personal win in the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, with five goals grown.

The Brazilian star of Santos recognizes that fixed in the style of Barça Argentine crack to emulate. "I'm a fan of Messi. I want to continue making history in football and scoring lots of goals to copy, "said Neymar to 'O Globo'.

The admiration of the emerging crack in Brazil by Messi was already apparent in the World Cup of Clubs, where they both met in the final won by the club. "Messi is the best player in the world, I copy some of his plays," then the crack of the Santos. (via MD)

The Barça full-back says that "the message that file is already given. I always want to have friends around."

It's nothing new that Dani Alves, is one of the most knowledgeable people to Neymar. Both go beyond being simple team-mates as they maintain a close friendship as they agree on the 'canarinhá confidences they share the same room. The Barca full-back has repeatedly stated his desire to share a dressing room with Neymar at the club. His words are not simply playing to the gallery. From the shadow, and like ants that move crumb to crumb to his nest, Alves works for Neymar finish dressing up azulgrana. "The message has already been taken. I always want to have friends close," explained Alves, MD, referring to the crack of Santos has clearly marked its roadmap towards Barcelona.

Furthermore, far from being just a personal desire to Dani, the side and has advised you choose Barcelona for his own good. "I told him if he wants to grow as a player, and also for its well in the selection, you need to play a more competitive league and a club like Barça. That would be perfect for him," he admits.

Dani was also responsible of preparing the ground at the Camp Nou. Not only presenting many of his companions, including his friend also Messi, but the locker room talking culé wonders. "Neymar know that there would receive him with open arms at Barça and all facilities would be for him."

Knowing that the intention of the club is to sign him and that the player is in the work of change of air in the not too distant future, the big question is to know if Neymar come to Barça in 2014, when his current contract ends after dispute World, or hasten his arrival at the club azulgrana summer of 2013. "From now to 2014 have yet to spend a lot," replied simply Neymar himself Monday in a press conference before the match against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Alves is a premium, but obviously leaves the decision to the Neymar own. "My desire is to arrive as soon as possible because even if you are an experienced player, the sooner comes first will be devoted. I do not know if it will be 2013, 2014 or when, that is something that has to assess and decide it," explained '2 'Barca, one of the few Brazilians who shone against Bosnia-Herzegovina. (via MD)

The goalkeeper 'che' is that it fits more in Barça.

Diego Alves and Valencia goalkeeper Neymar partner in the selection, is another authoritative voice to speak the Santos star and possible future rival in Spain is Barcelona and Madrid. According to Diego Alves, Neymar would fit better in Barcelona than in the club. "Barça would be an interesting team to Neymar because he is intelligent, knows how to pass, top, plays well by wing" he says.

He also warns that there would be no problem for the pearl of the 'canarinhá cohabit with Messi in the same team and not hide that he would love to see them play together. "I see it fully compatible with Messi. They both have different qualities and I would love to see them together on the same computer. Would be great, but then had to suffer as rivals," he jokes Alves. (via MD)

Discreetly, Neymar prepares his possible departure of Santos trying not to harm his club.

Neymar start thinking and in Blaugrana. No big fanfare, no winks, no outbursts or statements out of place that could inflame Santos FC and its fans, the truth is that the 'Mohicans' is paving the way for a possible departure from the club revealed that and which therefore is identified. The 'Jewel' and has decided to put an end to his time in Brazil. Your destination is the Camp Nou. Do not want a traumatic rupture process but is committed to a transition without fanfare and unnecessary controversies that may erode the current directive Santos, with whom she has a great relationship, his own image.

In everything that depends on it, Neymar is creating a scenario that facilitates break to Barcelona. Proof of this is 'clause Barcelona' which is introducing its new sponsorship contracts. Thus, the player is sure to keep your personal sponsors, should stop acting in Brazilian football. This is not a mere detail in the middle of pages and pages with small print, but is a strategic issue, involving some 10 million euros annually.

Neymar anyone forget, in your country, is a mass phenomenon, a social idol cross. Is the new 'miracle menino' of Brazilian advertising. On the doorstep of age 20, your own portfolio of advertisers is a global crack. Large companies operating in the booming Brazilian market are literally cake to associate their image with a player who has captured entirely to a country of 200 million potential consumers.

The 'Mohicans' is the most beloved athlete in his country and is in the Top-3 of the attached Brazilian celebrities over the media, having overcome the 'star system' of TV Globo soap operas, singers with an established career, or players such as Ronaldinho Gaucho, who plays for Flamengo, the country's most popular club.

The 'clause Barça' is beneficial for all parties: first, the player keeps his millions in income and on the other hand, the marks will not be renegotiated to increase the values ​​of a player who is gaining a global dimension. And thirdly, to Barcelona itself, never shared image rights, it is highly positive: keeping their sponsors, the value of your data will not become a transcendental aspect.

Advertising has been the strategic factor that has made possible the stay of Neymar at Santos. The summer of 2010, before an offer of 36 million euros, the 'Mohicans' galactic signed his first contract. His club, improve you apart from the card, I started looking for sponsors, which remained at 30%.

After lurking in Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Neymar signed his new contract in the fall, with which you can leave your club in 2014 with the letter of termination under his arm. The percentage of the income of Santos decreased from 30 to 10%, which created some controversy in the club environment. President Luis Alvaro de Oliveira said he will compensate with increased box office, television contracts and marketing efforts. Since signing the renewal, the footballer has associated its image to three large companies: Banco Santander, the phone operator Claro and consumer goods giant Unilever. In the three contracts, appears 'clause Barça'.

In addition, Santos will continue to grow when Neymar is in Barcelona. The Brazilian wants to be grateful to the club that changed his life and his family. For this reason, the player, when negotiating their low quite possibly this summer, will give the Saints the opportunity to continue charging 10% of their existing advertising contracts. This formula would show good will of the player with the current directive Santos, and, incidentally, would lower the price of his transfer.

Ronaldo is check cable to Barça and says it is 'the best in the world'

Ronaldo is a figure to take into account the environment Neymar. The company's Phenomenon, '9 ine ', is managing his image rights, and who is in charge of looking for new sponsors. Once the hook is Madrid in the race for Neymar, Ronaldo has surprised saying that "the best for the progression of Neymar is going to play in Europe." The phenomenon, also launched a final nod when he insisted that Barcelona Pep "is the best football team I've ever seen play." (via SPORT)

"I always had to Ronaldinho as a reference."
"Ronaldinho told me that Barcelona is wonderful."

Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the match between Brazil and Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday at 20.00 AFG Arena stadium in Saint-Gallen (Switzerland), the same scenario in which Spain and Chile last played September will see in action Neymar.

The Brazilian crack has served Mundo Deportivo mixed zone this afternoon, just before training. Neymar, who is in Switzerland with his parents and sister, who will live the match against Bosnia in the field, said that both Ronaldinho and Dani Alves is Barça have spoken wonders.

Neymar said that Ronaldinho, "I've always been a benchmark," he is advising well. "I have always in mind the advice of Ronaldinho, and he spoke wonders of Barça and the city, who told me that is wonderful." The young Brazilian player has stated that in his opinion "Barça is an excellent team, as everyone knows, full of stars."

A Neymar, not even for a moment lost the smile, he was also asked if their relationship with Santos until 2014 is still short, so the player has responded that "to date anything can happen, even I have much to do with the Santos. "

He quickly went back on the topic of conversation in Barca in the mixed zone, and Neymar also recognized Dani Alves "I've said many times I go to Barça." We must comment that has been very good vibes from Neymar and Alves throughout the day. They have not stopped messing around in no time and have a snack after heading into training camp together, to prepare and Tuesday's game against Bosnia-Herzegovina. (via MD)
