Simeone: Neymar sings, dances, destroys... he does his talking on the pitch

The Atletico boss was very complimentary of the Barcelona star ahead of this week's game

Atletico Madrid manager had no problem responding to questions about Barcelona star Neymar and his way of playing the game. And unlike other people, such as Juanfran, he has come out in defence of the Brazilian. 

Simeone has recognised that "Neymar is an extraordinary player. He won the Olympic Games after being criticised in Brazil following the first two games. He's found his place in Barcelona to express his talent. 

"Neymar has that way of playing. Everyone has their style. I love it. Neymar sings, dances and destorys. He speaks where he has to -- on the pitch." 

GRIEZMANN 

Simeone also spoke in his press conference ahead of Wednesday's game at Camp Nou against Barcelona of Antoine Griezmann and his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or. 

He said: "Now it's just the journalists who will vote, so it's in your hands! You've got an eye for these things... I hope it's Griezmann. He was fantastic last season and he's started the new season strongly."
