Neymar feels more ‘at home’ than ever at Barcelona
Barcelona: Brazilian striker Neymar says this season he feels more “at home” than ever with FC Barcelona, as it is now his third season with the Catalan football giants.
The Brazil captain declared on Thursday that he has found this year to be great and he feels he has performed in his own style since last season, reports Efe.
Neymar claims that he feels more “at home” than ever with the Spanish club this season, since his first year was spent trying to learn and understand everything, while the second season was better, and now he feels completely at home.
He explained that he was always been aware of the Barcelona players and how the Spanish club performed and he loved their style, mentioning that he has now adapted to this approach.
On Barcelona’s trident, which includes Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, the Brazilian striker does not know if they are the best, but said they are doing a good job, have a great friendship both on and off the field, and hoped that they would be at their best for many years.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
