Neymar’s thoughts on five of the world’s best defenders

Neymar was then asked to give his thoughts on five of the world’s best defenders - except this time he went into a little more detail.

Virgil van Dijk: “Playing against Van Dijk is tough because as a centre-back, he’s so strong and intelligent. He knows when it’s the right time to close you down and when to go in for a tackle. That makes it harder. It’s harder to play against intelligent centre-backs. They don’t make mistakes.”

Ruben Dias: “Ruben Dias is a very good centre-back. He’s quick and strong. He has quality as well, so that makes it hard to play against him.”

Raphael Varane: “I’ve played against Varane many times. He’s a very good centre-back. He’s quick and intelligent. His positioning is very good. He’s a top player. He almost never gets it wrong. That’s why he’s won so much.”

Antonio Rudiger: “I like Rudiger. He’s a centre-back who strikes fear into you. He’s very strong and big! Some forwards get a bit scared. I don’t, but I think many forwards do get a bit scared!”
