French clubs experienced various fortunes this Tuesday in the Champions League. Stade Brestois won against RB Salzburg (0-4), while PSG was swept away at Arsenal (2-0). The Parisian performance was not to the taste of many observers who pointed out the shortcomings of the team coached by Luis Enrique. In The Evening TeamJohan Micoud particularly targeted a player in the PSG midfield: João Neves. In a debate around the Portuguese international, the former Bordeaux attacking midfielder estimated that the former Benfica Lisbon player was no better than Mahdi Camara, Brest player and scorer against Salzburg.

I don’t agree. What is the definition of an environment? It’s to control, to dribble on himself, to progress the game. He can do other things, but otherwise, what did you see him do this evening? For example, in Brest, I saw (Mahdi) Camara doing technically clean things. The technique also involves making passes over 30 meters. I haven’t seen it, though. Apparently, he must help PSG progress, but I don’t see that », blurted Micoud.
