Guangzhou Evergrande manager Luiz Felipe Scolari admits that the absence of injured Barcelona superstar Neymar will make little difference to his team's chances of beating the European champions in Thursday's Club World Cup semifinal.
Brazilian forward Neymar has been ruled out of Barcelona's tournament opener against the Asian champions in Yokohama after hurting his groin in training last week.
But Scolari concedes that a Barcelona team boasting the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic will be able to cope with Neymar's absence in a way that Chinese side Guangzhou could only dream of.
