Neymar Is Electric - Enrique

neymar dribbling skills
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique described four-goal hero Neymar as "electric" following a 5-2 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
The Catalans reacted to conceding a Javi Guerra opener via the Brazilian, who won and scored two penalties before adding a quick-fire brace late in an entertaining affair that further strikes from Luis Suarez and Jozabed wrapped up.
Having watched the treble winners experience some rocky form prior to the international break with losses at Celta Vigo and Sevilla, Enrique was grateful for Neymar's inspirational showing.
"Neymar is electric," the Blaugrana boss told reporters after the match.
"Defences must either foul him and give away a penalty or he will score goals. Since he has started the season has been great, and today he was decisive.
"In a nutshell, he has been very impressive."
Neymar's constant trickery left the Rayo backline struggling to cope but Paco Jemez's men offered plenty going forward and had chances to level early in the second half.
And while a 10th consecutive win against Rayo always seemed on the cards, Enrique is demanding a lot more from his side: "Playing against Jemez's Rayo is always difficult, always complicated.
"I think we played well in the first half but poorly in the second half. We need to be clinical, but you can't practice that. The same players score 9 or 10 times with the same chances in training.
"We lost a lot of balls after the break and we have to improve. At least there are not many Rayos in this league.

"I don't know if they are the bravest side [in La Liga], because there is Celta Vigo, too. But I am a fan of Jemez and I would like to see him at a big club."

Ronaldo And Messi Stats Shows Who's Best Of All Time

Bests of all time Victory in football's biggest tournament would play a huge role for either player's legacy, particularly in the long-term, and it looks incredibly likely that the 2018 edition will be the final attempt for both men. As a result, there was always going to keen interest in exactly how Ronaldo and Messi fare. And, well, three games in and their form is diametrically opposed. Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.

Vardy: It Was Easy To Reject Arenal Move

    Jamie Vardy says it was easy for him to reject a move to Arsenal, insisting both his head and his heart told him to stay at Leicester City. After playing a crucial role in last season's surprising Premier League title win, the England international was the subject of a bid from the Gunners which triggered his £22 million release clause. Instead, the striker opted to remain at the King Power Stadium and signed a new deal with the Foxes. And Vardy, 29, says it was an easy decision to make. “I was in a hotel room [in Chantilly] for so many hours of every day with nothing to do. You had a lot of time on your hands," he told The Guardian . “I am not going to beat around the bush – every time I thought about it, and every aspect of it I thought about, both my head and my heart were saying to stay at Leicester, which is why I made my decision to stay. “There were loads of reasons. You get that much time to think about, every single thing down to the tea lady. You think about w...
