Neymar Hails Manchester City Star Kyle Walker As Toughest Defender He Has Ever Faced

• Manchester City's defender Kyle Walker has received glowing praises from Paris Saint-Germain's forward Neymar
• Neymar has admitted that Walker is the toughest defender he has come up against, given that he is fast and intelligent
• Neymar is not the only top player to have recognized Walker's talents in recent times, with Harry Kane and Eden Hazard also mentioning him

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar was put to task to explain the toughest adversary he has ever faced.

Neymar is one of the best players in the world and has often been mentioned just below the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He is also one of the best dribblers in the game, making a defender's job of marking him more difficult. His ability to use his feet and pick out passes makes him a threat even for the world's best defences.

It is, therefore, always a defender's nightmare to face Neymar, especially when he is on form. But Neymar admits that Kyle Walker is the one defender who has always given him a hard time whenever they meet.

The duo has met in the Champions League a couple of times with Neymar always in direct contact with the wing which Walker is usually tasked to man. They have also met at the international level and according to Neymar, Walker is one of the best in the game.

He's fast, strong and intelligent.

Eden Hazard had also mentioned Walker as his toughest opponent

Looks like the Englishman deserves more credit than he usually gets. Sports Brief has previously reported that Eden Hazard had explained that Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker is the toughest opponent that he faced in the Premier League.

Hazard had a highly-succesful spell with Chelsea that lasted seven full seasons before moving to Real Madrid. He left the Premier League as one of the best players the league has ever seen.

The Belgian is a gifted dribbler and often finds himself on the wrong side of defenders, giving them sleepless nights with his mazy runs and quick feet. He won the Premier League Player of the season in the 2014/2015 season.
