Neymar enjoying Martino methods at Barcelona

Barcelona star Neymar says he is happy playing for coach Tata Martino.

The Brazilian says Martino allows him to play with "freedom".

"He is a coach who speaks in a calm way and when we need to be calm, he keeps us like that. But when we have to aggressive, he motivates us.

"He lets me be myself, gives me liberty on the field," Neymar told La Vanguardia.

"We still have to improve, I'm growing. I want to give more. The key is to help the team, contribute a lot. It's essential to help and contribute to the victories."

On his faith, Neymar adds: "I am a believer since childhood. To me God and football is everything in life. Football gives me joy and I am a believer since childhood."
