Luis Suárez came out in defense for Neymar, who has been criticized in recent days by the  Spanish press for his performances for Barcelona.
Neymar went through a goal drought for month after returning to Barcelona from the international break, but finally found the net in the 8-0 win over Deportivo La Coruña. Suárez said that the Brazilian should not be the one to be blamed for the team’s recent defeats, which includes elimination from the UEFA Champions League. He was quoted in GOAL: “When things are going badly we all take responsibility. Over the past few days one person has been blamed but that’s not the way it is. We’re not machines; every player goes through a bad patch and it hurts that Neymar has been blamed.”
He added: “When we were winning nobody said that only Neymar was winning. It’s about the team. He has feelings and it wasn’t fair to blame him, but one thing in his favour is that he always fights and never lets his head drop.”
