The Spain star has backed his Brazilian team-
mate to be a success at the Catalan side during
his first season and regards Cesc Fabregas as a
crucial part of the squad
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta feels
Neymar is "one of the best" and therefore will
adapt quickly to his new surroundings at Camp
Nou.
The forward completed a switch from Santos in
a deal worth €57 million during the summer
transfer window but, following his arrival in
Spain, critics have questioned his ability to
perform at the top level in Europe.
However, his experienced team-mate is certain
the Brazil star, who Barca revealed suffers
from anaemia , will be an instant success at the
club.
"I don't think he will need much time to
adjust," he told reporters in Bangkok, where
Barca have arrived following their Peace Tour.
"When you're the best and you get to our
team, you adapt quickly. Despite coming from
another league, he will contribute much.
"His signing only brings positive things to us."
Iniesta also commented on Cesc Fabregas and
his standing in the team, as the midfielder
looks set to stay at Camp Nou with Manchester
United having seemingly given up on the
Spaniard.
"For me, he [Fabregas] is undisputed in this
club," he continued.
"My team-mates are always the best and the
important thing is that competition makes us
all better, because ultimately the team are
winning the titles, not the individuals.
"He is a key player for us, he always
performed at the highest level and will
continue to do so."
