Look Neymar Goal - Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao 3-1

The easier and easier reading would be to judge Neymar by the number of goals he has managed to score this season. Yes, they are few, very few. And it's also true that it took a thousand minutes without a goal, from that distant Barça-Manchester City Champions League that we saw at the Camp Nou, something unusual in a player of his quality and offensiveness.

However, I find it quite unfair to measure the Brazilian's performance solely and exclusively by his scorer records. Especially since Neymar is much more than a scorer. At the entrance is, along with Messi and Luis Suarez, the most unbalanced and incisive player of the team. He does not know the word "wrinkle." He always looks at the face, always seeks to unbalance and is always measured from you to you to his opponents, without fear that, as happens with too much assiduity, kick him up.

A week ago he only provoked the two expulsions of Athletic players and last night was the one who searched for the Basque area with eagerness and ended up encountering a penalty in favor that he transformed into the goal that put the 2-0 on the scoreboard. Another proof of his bravery and maturity. Evidence that it is never hidden, neither in good times nor in bad times.

Neymar, last night, was the great animator of the party. He played more balls than anyone else and entered the area more often than ever. An extraordinary offensive flow that, incidentally, shows that, although the Barça left band is a wonder, the right band does not exist. Without being born, neither the interior nor the side cover that lack.

Of Neymar it is necessary to emphasize and to ponder another aspect more. Like Leo Messi, he also plays for the team and for his teammates. At this stage of the season has already given fourteen assists or goal passes. Against Athletic, his ball to Luis Suárez allowed the Uruguayan to get a real goal.

Neither should we ignore the extraordinary harmony between the three cracks of Barca. Although Messi is in charge of running the maximum faults, Leo had the detail of giving him the launch, knowing that a goal would help Neymar that yesterday 'unleashed' all his football.
