Neymar talks about most skillful teammate, playing in the Premier League

Neymar says he will pick Lionel Messi as the most skillful player he has played with ahead of Brazil teammate, Gabriel Jesus.

Neymar has revealed the most skillful player he has had to play with is Gabriel Jesus – that is after Lionel Messi of course.

Both Neymar and Jesus are teammates in the Brazilian national side but is also club teammates with former world footballer of the year, Messi.

Asked who the most skillful player he has had to play with is, the Barca ace picked Messi, before naming Jesus as the second most-skillful player he has had as a teammate.

Neymar said: “The most skilful player? Lionel Messi. But after that it’s Gabriel Jesus – he’s incredibly skilful. I’d also have to pick Robinho, who is my idol, and Ganso at Sevilla.

“And I can’t forget Ronaldinho. If there was one Brazilian I’d bring back from retirement to play for Barcelona, it would be him.

“My favourite player to watch? It’s got to be Messi. But he’s not the only one. There’s also Luis Suarez of course, and Lucas Lima.

“He’s a very skilful playmaker at my old club Santos and also a great friend of mine.”

But the Brazilian ace insists he’s not thinking about a Premier League switch anytime soon despite long being linked with Manchester United in the past.

“Have I thought about it? No, not yet.

“To be honest I’ve never thought about living in England. I do watch the Premier League a little bit, but then again I don’t like to watch too much football.

“I like to follow Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus just to see how they’re doing but I’ve never touched the subject of moving to the Premier League with them.

“I’ve played in some ground in England, I believe almost all of those from the big teams – it’s hard to pick one that I liked the most.”
