Neymar may no longer be what he used to be on a football pitch, it still does a little something to see him descend the steps of the auditorium of the Parc des Princes, then climb the platform on which is placed the desk where Christophe Galtier sits a little more frequently. On the eve of the knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, the Brazilian says he “feels very good”, despite criticism related to his level of play.
“The criticisms are legitimate, everyone has their own opinion, we think about football differently, I can understand, everyone is entitled to their opinion, replies Ney. I do my best for the club and for the team. I have great confidence in myself, I know my abilities and my qualities, and I say that humbly. I like to play these big matches, the big teams, these are the moments that the players are waiting for. »
“No explanation” for the crisis that PSG is going through
The Parisian star also returned to the spat with Luis Campos who had leaked in the press after the defeat of PSG in Monaco in Ligue 1. He did not deny it while putting water in his wine. “It was a simple discussion, an exchange, we didn’t agree but it happens, and every day, and still we all love each other. Even with my girlfriend sometimes we don’t agree! Football is not just about love or friendship, and yet there is always respect. »
Finally, Neymar says he has “no explanation” for the blow that Paris Saint-Germain went through less well, which he apprehends almost as a fatality. “I think difficult times happen to all clubs. In the locker room we talk about his subjects, we know we have flaws, we are looking for the best Paris Saint-Germain. “It will be imperative to find him against Bayern, to have a chance of qualifying.
