Messi happy alongside Neymar at Barcelona

Argentine superstar Lionel Messi said Thursday he has a good relationship with Brazilian wonderkid Neymar after the pair starred in Barcelona's 7-1 demolition of Thailand the night before.Neymar scored his first goal in Barcelona colours and Messi contributed a brace against the Thai side in Bangkok on Wednesday before both strikers were substituted at half-time."Even though we had very little time in the team, there is no problem between us. We have a good relationship with each other and are happy to work together for Barcelona," Messi told a press conference.The flamboyant Neymar was this week reportedly diagnosed with anaemia amid questions over whether his partnership with four-time world player of the year Messi would flourish.But new boss Gerardo Martino said after the friendly with Thailand that the pair would complement each other, as Barca look to a reshaped front line to spearhead a defence of their La Liga crown and banish last season's Champions League humbling by Bayern Munich."They (Messi and Neymar) are different players but I think they showed a good understanding today," the former Paraguay coach said in Bangkok. "They found each other well."Barcelona's 57 million euro ($75.7 million, £49.5 million) summer acquisition showed no sign of his apparent anaemia in a lively 45 minutes, the highlight of which was his landmark goal from close range on 12 minutes.This sparking the rout as Barca cruised to a 1-5 lead at the interval.The Catalan side return to Asia three years after their last tour of the football-mad continent -- home to a massive fan base and huge potential revenue in sponsorship.The tour is also a final chance for Martino to assess his players before they begin their La Liga defence on August 18.Barcelona are in Kuala Lumpur to play a Malaysia XI on Saturday in the second leg of their Asian tour.
