Are Messi and Neymar working together once more?
However, a win in Quito combined with a Brazil victory will secure their spot in Russia. Meanwhile, rumors have emerged in South America (as cited here by Mundo Deportivo) that Neymar and Messi have been talking about the games. Neymar has reportedly been assured of his former Barcelona team mate that Brazil will do everything in their power to win the game versus Chile. These rumors reached the media in South America. As a result Brazil coach Tite said in his pre-match press conference that if anyone asked about Brazil playing poorly on purpose to harm Argentina, he would leave immediately.
