"We will be without the best player in the world and without the best shot-stopper in the world, but i have a little doubt that we will cope without them.
We have some great players to replace them, "the Barca coach said at the conference. Martino didn't agreed that there will be more pressure on Brazil attaacker Neymar Jr, now that Messi's sideline until the New Year.

"Neymar has been doing absolutely stunning, ever since he got here and I don't think that his situation changes due to Messi's absence," he reasoned." There's no extra pressure for him." Neymar has so far scored four goals in 11 La Liga appearences.
