Arbeloa Ready To Face Neymar
Posted: Jun 30, 2013
Spain right back Álvaro Arbeloa has praised Neymar ahead of the Confederations Cup final between Brazil and Spain today.
If Neymar plays from his position on the left side of the Brazil attack, then it’s likely that Arbeloa will spend much of the game marking the number 10.
In anticipation of this Arbeloa was excited, and admitted that he’d been watching Neymar in action.
“There had been no opportunity to see him in a full match. I kept up with summaries and videos, but I really enjoyed his football once I saw him playing for 90 minutes.
“You can understand why he has made this impact, and the reason he cost Barcelona what he did.”
One of the less talked about players in the Spain squad, Arbeloa has been one of his country’s steady performers, and has been responsible for marking some of the best players in the world in past tournament triumphs.
He went on to heap further praise on Neymar, and discuss his footballing ability:
“He is a very direct player and always attacks his marker, dribbling down the left and the right, controlling the ball with both legs and he finishes well. He seems to be a great athlete.” concluded Arbeloa. ------------------------------------------- complete sports
