Clearly, Neymar is on everyone's lips at the moment. In Saudi Arabia, his future at Al-Hilal (club with which he is under contract until next June) is being talked about more than ever and his coach, Jorge Jesus, declared yesterday that the 32-year-old Brazilian was no longer in physical condition to evolve with his team. A hard blow dealt in public, when we know that the Saudi Pro League is undoubtedly not the most physically demanding championship.
“He is a player who leaves no doubt, a world-class player. But the truth is that physically, Neymar can no longer perform at the level we are used to. Things got tough for him, unfortunately.» While waiting to see the consequences of this declaration, Neymar has once again been talked about. But this time, it's because the Auriverde international agreed to talk at length about his adventure at Paris Saint-Germain (2017-2023) on Romario TV.
“We had a bit of an argument”
After discussing his departure from Barça, the Al-Hilal star revealed the reason for the capital club's successive failures in the Champions League. And unsurprisingly, he admitted that the stacking of global cracks (him, Messi and Mbappé) harmed the Ile-de-France project. “Ego is good, but you have to know that you don’t play alone. The other person has to be on your side. The ego belonged to almost everyone. This can't work. If no one runs and no one helps each other, it's impossible to win anything. » Then, Ney raised a subject that will cause a lot of talk: his relationship with Kylian Mbappé.
At first, the Frenchman was in awe of his idol. But over time, Mbappé began to take on more importance at PSG and this relationship deteriorated. Ney also confirmed that several arguments occurred and that Mbappé had become jealous of Lionel Messi. “Mbappé is not a pain. I have my business with him, we had a bit of an argument. He was a boy who was fundamental to begin with. I called him Golden Boy. I played with him, I helped him, I talked with him. He came to my house. We spent many good years together. But when Messi arrived, I think he got a little jealous, I think he didn't want to share me with anyone else. That’s when the arguments started, the behavior changes”. The Bondynois will appreciate…
