Russia manager Fabio Capello believes that the Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez combination can be "compatible" but the success of the partnership depends on where the individuals are played on the pitch.
The Catalan giants boast of having the deadly trio to choose from up front, but the former Real Madrid boss insists that their partnership can only work if the manager knows how to use them.
The 68-year-old also believes that both Messi and Suarez can prove to be lethal if they are played "closer to the goal".
"The three could be compatible, but it depends on where you play Messi", the Italian told AS.

"He needs to play closer to the goal to stay fresh.
"Luis Suarez is a player who is worth only 60 percent of his capability if he's on the wing.
"Suarez requires time because he's been out for four months and because he's a player who scores goals and can make the difference.
"If Luis Enrique finds the right formula, it's a front line that can score a lot of goals."
Luis Enrique's team currently lead La Liga with 22 points from nine matches and will look to return to winning ways in the league when they take on Celta Vigo this weekend.
