Barcelona chief Zubi says Neymar can handle tough tackling

Barcelona chief Andoni Zubizarreta says Neymar can handle being a marked man.

Neymar is attracting more and more fouls as his form improves at his new club.

"I'm not worried about Neymar getting fouled. I'd be worried if he weren't settling in well, but my mind is at ease on that front," said Zubizarreta.

"As he improves his game, the rest will take care of itself. He's a big threat as a player and that's why he gets fouled so much. Whenever he's on the ball he makes things happen."
