"The best Neymar was seen at Barcelona"

Speaking to "France Football", Tite said he believes that the best Neymar was that creative and piercing player that first made an impact in European football in his four years with Barcelona. 

"The best Neymar was seen in Barcelona, because he started from the left and went towards the centre. His game has changed a lot, as Tuchel plays 4-4-2 and Ney's position is more focused," he said.

However, Tite does not believe this has diminished the player's impact: according to the Brazilian, no player is a match for Neymar Jr. - Cristiano and Messi excluded - citing several examples. 

"Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo excluded, I haven't seen another player today who has reached the exceptional level of Neymar when he has been at his peak mentally and physically. Not Hazard, not Griezmann, not Pogba," said Tite to the French magazine. 

Neymar has scored 18 goals and nine assists in 22 games for PSG so far this year. Barcelona are once again keeping an eye on him...
