Unai Emery hailed Neymar’s dazzling display in the Ligue 1 leaders’ 4-1– win at Rennes on Saturday after he scored two goals and assisted another two.
“When Neymar provides solutions like that on the pitch, of course it is good for the team — and for all those who love football,” Emery said. “He showed the full range of his talent this evening and was very good tactically, as well as the way he helped us to penetrate.
“Our three attackers all scored and they provided their own assists too — it was a very positive display.
“We also conceded a goal, which we have to try and put right.”
“When we play like that and when we are on our game, we are very difficult to handle,” he told Canal+. “We remained disciplined and focused, even in the second half when Rennes were in a more dominant frame of mind.
“After they pulled one back, we were able to pick ourselves up and push on. We were on fire up front, we now have to be more solid defensively for things to be even better.”
