Neymar opens up a whole new dimension for himself when the responsibility of creativity falls on his shoulders. The experience is obviously there, as seen in his international performances for Brazil. He is the captain of the Selecao after all, but is he involuntarily restricted at Barcelona?
With Barcelona, he’s got two demigods as his team-mates in Messi and Suarez, who not only help lift the load, but more often than not restrict Neymar’s role to that of a ‘finisher’. There’s nothing wrong with it, obviously. In fact he has excelled at that role too, as seen last season, when he scored 39 goals in all competitions for Barcelona.
