He's always fighting, he'll press our rivals, he can take a penalty even when things are going his way. That's why he is a top player. "Other kind of players would try to be less participative into this situation. I would like to highlight the fans' attitude, singing 'Neymar, Neymar' when he needs it most."We need them to reinforce our player when things don’t go as we wish."</blockquote>
