Luis Enrique: Neymar has the potential to be a dominant player, but I'm not sure he will be Football Has the world at his feet

Spain coach Luis Enrique remains unconvinced that Neymar will become one of football's absolute elite, despite acknowledging his undoubted talent.

Neymar played under the Spaniard at Barcelona and helped deliver silverware, but question marks still hang over his head.

"He has the potential to be a dominant player," Luis Enrique said of the Brazilian.

"Time will tell, and I'm not certain that he will be, but he's a winner on the pitch."

Spain have had their own style for over a decade now, but the ex-Barcelona boss isn't wedded to one specific way of playing.

"I focus more on the titles than how they are won," he said.

"We're focused on playing the best football possible. I like direct, attacking football and attacking is how you find your identity.

"To not value Pep Guardiola's Barcelona would be cynical and blind - it was a work of art.

"I want to win, but I'm convinced that we win if we play well by attacking and defending as a collective."

International coaching is a completely different role from that of a club coach, but Luis Enrique isn't missing the daily interaction with his players.

"I don't miss the day to day work," he admitted.

"We work intensely.

"I want to have time to do other things. There are a thousand things that I like."
