Enrique after his part in Barcelona's victory over
Getafe.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique hailed forward Neymar as
"unique" following Saturday's 2-0 victory over Getafe at the
Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
The victory kept Barca level on points with Real Madrid at the
top of La Liga, with Luis Suarez opening the scoring prior to
Neymar's well-taken volley after the break.
Neymar was key in the build-up to the opener as well, the
Brazilian continuing to help Barca cope with the absence of
injured star Lionel Messi during recent weeks.
The forward was a constant menace to the Getafe back line on
Saturday and Luis Enrique was impressed by Neymar's all-
round display.
"He brings us a lot, he is a unique player in all aspects, capable
of taking on two or three opponents on his own," said the Barca
coach.
"He brings us goals, assists, defensive work, keeps improving
and will keep improving. He is so important for us.
"[But] we have not asked more from the players, we always ask
for them to give everything. We all had to step up with players
out."
Suarez too was full of praise for Neymar, with Barca hopeful
Messi can be reunited with his fellow forwards ahead of El
Clasico on November 21.
"We all have clear functions, I can't dribble four rivals, that's a
job for Neymar," he told Movistar.
"All the people remember Messi because he's the best player in
the world and we know that the fans miss him."
