Former Netherlands international Marco van Basten has hailed Barcelona forward Neymar.

The 50 year-old, who is assistant manager at AZ, was very impressed with Neymar at this summer’s World Cup and is excited to see him play alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

“Neymar is a great player and at first I paid him a lot of attention as I wanted to see him play after the all the talk there had been, but at the World Cup he convinced me,” he said, as reported by Football Espana.

“Unfortunately he got injured but I had seen enough to convince me that he can produce some great moments and is a fantastic footballer.

“If a team has an attack with him, Messi and Suarez in it then the Coach only has to defend because they will always score goals.

“Although that’s very easy to say, it should normally be like that because these three can make the difference on any pitch.”
