Fabregas: Neymar Is At Ronaldinho’s Level, Messi Liked Having Him In His Team

Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has highlighted Neymar’s qualities by comparing him to former Barcelona great Ronaldinho.

Neymar, who left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 but was formerly a teammate of Fabregas’ at the Camp Nou, has come up against the Catalan in Ligue 1 and has impressed.

“Neymar is an outlier, he has qualities at the level of Ronaldinho,” Fabregas said.

“He is a superstar that makes the difference when he wants.

“It’s been a while since I played with him and he recently killed us in two games with PSG.

“[Lionel Messi], Luis [Suarez] and the rest liked having him in the team because at any moment he could give you an assist or dribble, something that is difficult in an evenly matched game.”

Off the pitch, Neymar has had his critics, yet Fabregas always saw him a being a nice guy.

“He has everything to be the best,” the midfielder added.

“Off the pitch he is a very good kid. He is like a child; he is always happy and enjoys life.”

Fabregas departed Barcelona for Chelsea in the summer of 2014, with his final match for the club coming against Atletico Madrid as Los Rojiblancos secured the LaLiga Santander title at the Camp Nou.

“[My departure was] determined by the match against Atletico,” Fabregas explained.

“At that time, I became a starter with Tata [Martino].

“At the time I was playing the most in my career, almost 60 games in a year.

“I earn the place [in the line-up], Xavi [Hernandez] does not play and we lose the league [title] after winning, and we have a goal ruled out for offside without me participating in the play at any time.

“Everything could have changed for me to stay, but for small details; we lost LaLiga at the Camp Nou and I had it in my head to move on.”
