dismissed suggestions the South
American stars could struggle to
perform well together, adding the
club did well to sign the Brazilian
early
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has
dismissed any suggestions that new
signing Neymar may struggle to play
alongside Lionel Messi .
The Brazil starlet, who completed a €57
million move to Camp Nou earlier this
summer, was awarded the
Confederations Cup Golden Ball as the
tournament's best player after helping his
side retain the trophy on home soil after
a 3-0 win over Spain in the final.
Former Blaugrana coach Johan Cruyff had
suggested Messi should be sold given that
the two South American stars would clash
at Camp Nou, but Rosell has rubbished
any such notion, adding that the club did
well to land the ex-Santos forward before
his stunning displays in June.
"As some say, we were lucky to sign
Neymar before the Confederations Cup,"
the 49-year-old told Sport.es. "Let's just
say lucky, yes.
"All good people understand these
situations. And these [Messi and Neymar]
are two good people."
Rosell also took the opportunity to
comment on Bojan Krkic, who on Saturday
completed a one-year loan move to Ajax,
revealing his hope that the striker will still
become an important player for Barcelona
in the future.
"Besides being a very dear person, is a
very good player who needs minutes to
play and prove he's a scorer," Rosell
added.
"Choosing Ajax is perfect for him to keep
growing and someday return to Barca -
that would be our dream."
