Brazil coach Tite says that Neymar is essential to his team, but not irreplaceable. In an interview with FF, Tite sung the praises of the Seleção number 10.
Tite says he still believes the player’s best position is on the left-side of a front three. “Neymar is essential, but not irreplaceable.
“In each match, I ask myself the same question: how to get the best out of him, build and balance the team around him?
“The position where I found him the best performing in club as in the seleção, was when he played for Barcelona, on the left side coming in.
“In other words, starting from one side, where he worked with the environment, then using his perception of the game, his speed of reflection and execution, his capacity for improvisation and adding his speed to it.
“The best Neymar I saw playing was during this period. The level of play he had reached then was exceptional and only Messi and Ronaldo were above him. I have never seen Hazard, Griezmann or Pogba play at this level.”
