Neymar: Brazil are not a one-man team

Neymar: Brazil are not a one-man team

The Barcelona ace scored twice as Dunga's men beat
United States on Tuesday but says they can cope without him especially
with Douglas Costa in fine form
Neymar has insisted that Brazil are not a one-man team and is adamant they have plenty of options up front with the Barcelona star set to miss his country's opening World Cup qualifiers due to suspension.



Brazil beat Costa Rica 1-0 at the weekend before recording a 4-1 win
over United States on Tuesday, with Neymar netting twice against Jurgen
Klinsmann's men to take his tally for Brazil to 46.



Coach Dunga will have to make do without the services of the Barcelona
attacker in next month's qualifiers against Chile and Venezuela
following his red card at the Copa America, but Neymar feels that is no
cause for concern.



"I think Brazil have great players who can replace any absence," he told reporters.



"Brazil has never been a one-man team. I can only congratulate the entire team for its fine performance in the past two games.



"Douglas Costa has been playing very well for Bayern Munich and Brazil.
He did a great job together with Marcelo. They are great players who can
make a difference."



Neymar also stressed that he always gives his all for the national team and is ready to help out Dunga whenever he needs him.



He added: "I'm here to help. I like to be on the pitch and I always want
to play. I'm always available for the coach and when I play I have to
give my best and try to score to help the team."
