Marcelino: "Neymar is very decisive"

Villarreal boss Marcelino has admitted that his team struggled to cope with Neymar during their 3-0 defeat to Barcelona at the weekend.

The Yellow Submarine frustrated the hosts for long spells at Camp Nou, but a double from Neymar and a Luis Suarez penalty saw Luis Enrique's side emerge with all three points.

Marcelino has said that Neymar, who now has 11 league goals this season, is currently "the most decisive player in the league".

"Neymar is very decisive, especially because of how clearly he's thinking in front of goal and in his all-round game," Marcelino told reporters.

"He's in great form, is getting better and better, and although he's still young, you can make a case for him being the most decisive player in the league right now."

Barcelona will enter El Clasico on November 21 three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table.
