Luis Suarez opens up on Neymar’s departure to PSG

Luis Suarez has joined Lionel Messi in bidding Neymar farwell, as the Brazil international closes in on a world-record move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Although La Liga has refused to accept a payment of €222million that meets Neymar’s release clause, the 25-year-old is expected to complete the move.

Suarez, who formed the fearsome MSN front three alongside Neymar and Messi, has posted his own heartfelt farewell message on Instagram.

“My friend I wish you the best in everything that comes!!!” he wrote.

“Also thank you for your support, for everything that I learned with you and for the unique moments that we spent together!!!!

“Keep like this and never change love you little bro.”

Messi bids Neymar farewell as he leaves Barca for PSG

years with you friend. I wish you good luck in
this new stage of your life.

you brother. I will miss you!"

‘only Lionel Messi Is Guaranteed To Start In My Team’- Argentina Coach, Sampaoli

Head coach of Argentina, Jorge Sampaoli, has said that Lionel Messi “is the only undisputed starter”, as they face a must-win World Cup qualifier on August 31 against Uruguay.
“I have had the good fortune to arrive with the national team at the time that Messi’s ban was lifted,” Sampaoli said during a news conference on Tuesday.
“We have the best player in the world [in Messi].

From him the team is born.”
Argentina are currently fifth in their qualifying group for the 2018 World Cup.
Only the top four sides will qualify directly for the tournament that is to be staged in Russia.
Sampaoli said that he will count on Messi to “shoot to the middle” or “to the right toward the middle” and seek out “players who will help his potential,” to defeat Uruguay on their home turf.
“To leave Messi alone at this moment is a mistake. We need to surround him with the best players possible,” he said, while acknowledging that “there are no players who have more privilege than others” with the exception of Messi.

Why I ‘fight’ with Messi, Neymar – Ronaldo

Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has said he
‘fights’ to be one of the top footballers in the
world with the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
The 32-year-old who won the Ballon d’Or in
January, is a firm favourite to be crowned the
world’s best footballer for the fifth time, following
Madrid’s triumphs in La Liga and the Champions
League last season.
Ronaldo and long-time rival Messi have shared
the Ballon d’Or and FIFA Ballon d’Or every year
since 2008 and another win will see the Madrid
man draw level with the Barcelona forward.
And Ronaldo admits that the “healthy” competition
between the world’s finest forwards inspires him
to strive for success.
“To mention one [player] is hard, but the level that
I am is like in other sports: Formula One, NBA…
The best players always follow the best players,”
he told ESPN.

“They want to be in the top of the game because
the other ones are there. You cannot rest,
because the other ones will pass you.
“Of course we fight with everyone, with Neymar,
with Messi, Lewandowski, Higuain, with the best
players in the world. This is not ‘fighting’ but it’s
healthy. We fight to be the best.
“It’s my motivation: to be better than them, year
after year.”
