Brazilian ace Neymar has admitted that playing against team mate Lionel Messi won't be an easy task, as he hopes to get the better of his team-mate when Brazil meet Argentina.
The two attackers will face off as rival captains in Beijing on Saturday for the Gillette Superclasico de las Americas, when Brazil face Argentina at the Bird’s Nest Stadium.
Neymar admits it won't be easy for his side when they face the four-time Ballon d’Or winner, he, however, says he would be very happy to see him on the losing team for once.
“Playing alongside him is a great honour, he is the best in the world,” Neymar told the press in China.
“To play against him is not very pleasant. We have to hope he does not have a good day and doesn’t get the opportunity to touch the ball,” he joked.
“Seriously, we have to be careful because you have to be always alert when facing a great player like him, we cannot give him time and space to think or dribble. Then he cannot do anything and we should win the game!"
Messi and Neymar have been in fine form for Barcelona and their respective countries in recent times.
