With the huge signing of the Brazilian Wonderkid, Neymar, Barcelona look to make a huge push for the Champions League title. If Neymar and Messi get along that is. Neymar always likes to steal the show, but that won't work for him at FC Barcelona.
Just a few days ago, Barcelona destroyed a Brazilian team 8x0. That game showed the promising future of Alexis Sanchez, and was the debut of Neymar. Messi had one goal, Neymar had none. Now, Barca fans shouldn't be worried about Neymar not scoring in a goal fest like that game was. His thirst for goals is stronger than ever now that he's in Europe and we will surely see plenty of goals from him.
Messi had an amazing year last year scoring 91 goals. And my biggest fear is that bringing Neymar in will take away from Messi's scoring. But, as I really thought more about it, I realized how silly I was being. Neymar and Messi will both score a great amount of goals putting Barcelona in a great position next year.
Also, Neymar has amazing speed, vision, and can shoot and pass from anywhere on the field. We saw his full potential in the Confederations Cup where he not only scored but assisted also. So, he already has the skill set to play in Spain, but the biggest thing for him in these next couple of weeks is to adjust to Barcelona's style of play that is vastly different from the Brazilian style he's used to.
If he can nail that down, he'll be just fine for his first season in Europe. Neymar brings a lot of excitement to Barcelona and gives great hope for the future of this football club.
The video shows Neymar's top ten goals. He looks a lot like Messi in some of them!

Guus Hiddink: New Coach for The Catalan Giants?
Guus Hiddink resigned as head coach of the Russian outfit Anzhi stating on the club website that his reason for resignation was he felt the club could develop on its own without him. I think he feels his future could be better at a larger club such as Barcelona. Considering Tito Villanova resigned yesterday and Guus today, I think he has his eye on the head coaching job for Blaugrana.
But, the real question is if he is the right man for the job. Guus had a mediocre showing as coach of the Dutch national team but the headlines were more about internal strife than football prowess. Hiddink resigned after a tough loss in the 1998 World Cup to the Brazilian side that was home to a host of stars such as Taffarel, Giovanni, Ronaldo and Rivaldo.
After his time with the Dutch national team he took Jupp Heynckes place at the Spainish super team, Real Madrid. He was sacked the very next season because of remarks about the clubs board and the money he was allowed. Guus then took over Real Betis and was sacked that same year.
Where ever Guus Hiddink goes he doesn't stay for very long and has mixed results. So maybe he is not the best choice for Barcelona in wake of Villanova having to take medical leave. With locker room drama following him everywhere he goes, this could be a very bad choice for Barcelona.
