"Barcelona" defender Jordi Alba revealed that Neymar's departure was painful for the whole team, but for him personally, playing without the Brazilian is much better.
Last summer, Neymar decided to leave "Barca" for a record sum. J. Alba knows Neymar's abilities well - they played together on the left side, but the Spaniard did not feel as good playing next to Neymar as he does now without him.
"Now I have more freedom to join the attacks and, to be honest, I feel much better in defense than before," - J. Alba spoke about the possibilities in defense with and without Neymar.
"Neymar is a great player who, due to circumstances, his feelings and thoughts, decided to leave. However, there are many players in the team who can do his job on the field just as well.
"I am happy with the footballers we have", - added the Spanish national team defender.
