Despite his excellent performances at PSG, João Neves did not play a single minute for Portugal during the October international break, a surprising decision by Roberto Martinez.
While Joao Neves shines with Paris Saint-Germain, the young midfielder did not play a single minute with Portugal during the October international break. Despite his exceptional performances in Parisian colors, with five assists in nine matches this season, Roberto Martinez did not call on him for the matches against Poland (3-1) and Scotland (0-0). This situation raises questions, especially since Martinez has regularly praised the 19-year-old’s talent.
Zero minutes for Neves in selection: a confusing decision
Among the 23 outfield players called up, Joao Neves and Samuel Costa are the only ones not to have had any playing time. This treatment is all the more surprising given that Neves has established himself as one of the executives of PSG, where he continues tenure under Luis Enrique. While some see an advantage in him returning fresh from the break, others are concerned about the impact this could have on his morale and his integration into the national team.
