Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has praised Brazilian
attacker Neymar and says he reminds him of the legendary Johan Cruyff.
Cruyff was a key exponent of 'Total Football' as a coach
and player with Barcelona, Ajax and the Netherlands among others throughout his
career.
The three-time Ballon d'Or winner - who won La Liga once
in his Camp Nou playing days - shares similarities with Neymar, according to
Fabregas.
The 21-year-old has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for
the Catalan giants since arriving from Santos in the close-season and Fabregas
paid him one of the highest compliments in football.
"Neymar reminds me of Cruyff," Fabregas told La
Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I could never see him play live, but Cruyff had an
incredible change of pace, like him.
"(He) starts fast, slows suddenly and restarts with
a lot of speed."
