Barcelona boss Luis Enrique and Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone have both defended Neymar after he was criticised for showboating against Leganes on Saturday.
With the Blaugrana coasting to an eventual 5-1 victory, late in the second half Neymar delved into his box of tricks in an attempt to dazzle opposition defenders, although the actions appeared to anger his modest opponents; former Barcelona star Michael Laudrup (h/t Samuel Marsden of ESPN FC) also said on beIN Sports the striker was being insulting in his actions.
However, Enrique believes the way the Brazilian plays—flicks, tricks and all—brings joy to the supporters.
