Villarreal striker Nilmar has praised fellow forward Giuseppe Rossi saying it is a pleasure to play with the 24-year-old.
Rossi has been linked with a move to Barcelona and the Camp Nou club are widely expected to try their luck for the Yellow Submarine hitman, with Villarreal themselves keen to keep hold of their Italian international.
"It’s easy to play with someone of his quality", said Nilmar of Rossi.
"He is left-footed, has great technique and superior ball control. He is having a great season and he’s a very good guy off the pitch too, which is a very important thing."
Despite losing 1-0 to Barcelona at the weekend, Villarreal sit in fourth and hold a lead of nine points over fifth-placed Sevilla, meaning a spot in next season’s Champions League looks on the agenda for the Yellow Submarine.
