Controversial crossing of statements between Leo Messi and Neymar

Leo Messi and Neymar turned into big friends in the FC Barcelona. Both confessed his admiration by the another publicly in reiterated occasions in front of the media. However, something seems to be changing in the environment between the two.

In the last days, both have launched darts poisoned. First it was Leo Messi, in an interview for the English magazine World Soccer, the one who recognised that the FC Barcelona, without Neymar, has "more balance" and is "stronger in defence". The Brazilian forward did not take in answering in interview conceded to diverse Brazilian means saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is "the mirror" in which it looks .

Leo Messi was the first in shooting, speaking on the changes of the team without Neymar. "The course of Neymar has supposed a change in our way to play. We lost a lot offensive potential but helped us defensivamente. Now we are very very armed in the centre of the field. Have more balance and this does us stronger in defence", said.

Neymar, later, did some statements that smell to dart in shape of answer to the '10' Barcelona. "To Cristiano Ronaldo respect him a lot by the history that has done. It is the mirror in that I look me. It carries like Messi ten years in the highest. All want to be as they, but the Madrid is not alone Cristiano, has very good players", commented.

Dani Alves Also thinks

Dani Alves, in an interview for Fifa.com, also said his: "Neymar, beside Messi, is the player more desequilibrante that there is. But it needed to go out a bit of his shadow. Play with somebody so incomparable like Leo is the most incredible thing that can happen you, but always will have the doubt of if have really the quality or is he. I think that the possibilities to have individual attainments increase when one is not so near of a player like this".
