For his return to Ligue 1 after the 2022 World Cup, Neymar had a very bad evening against Strasbourg (2-1) on Wednesday. The Brazilian striker from Paris Saint-Germain was expelled at the hour mark following a rather grotesque simulation, then he left the stadium before the end of the game.
Difficult return to L1 for Neymar…
Ligue 1 is back and so are the problems for Neymar. Eager to revive quickly after the disappointment linked to the elimination of Brazil from the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 30-year-old striker started Wednesday against Strasbourg (2-1), on the occasion of the 16th championship day.
First inspired, and decisive passer on the opener of Marquinhos, the Auriverde then experienced a more complicated end to the evening.
Two yellow cards in less than 2 minutes…
Victim of harsh treatment, often not sanctioned by the referee, the former Barcelonan lost the thread at the hour mark by collecting two yellow cards in less than two minutes. First for an involuntary slap on Adrien Thomasson, then for a rather grotesque simulation in the area. The Brazilian therefore did not participate in the last half hour of the match, nor observed his teammates since he left the stadium before the end of the game, visibly upset.
While Kylian Mbapp has been described as a savior since last night, for having obtained and scored the winning penalty in stoppage time, Neymar finds himself pointing the finger at him for his behavior. Especially in Brazil, where his attitude is often criticized. Neymar is expelled with a simulated penalty and will not play on January 1 (Lens)! I wonder if New Year’s Eve is readypitched 1970 world champion Gerson for UOL.
Walter Casagrande pulls out the sulfate machine
This theory also crossed the mind of Walter Casagrande: Maybe he will return to Brazil to organize an end-of-year party, since he will be absent for the next match. The former Brazilian international then knocked out his compatriot. Sorry to anyone apologizing to him, but with Neymar I’ve never been wrong since my first review in 2017 where I said he was spoiled. We are in 2023 and it is still so puril. He has become a celebrity who only thinks of posts (on social networks) to gain subscribers and forgets to be a playerhe dropped on UOL.
Neymar demonstrates once again that he is an infantilized and spoiled person, on and off the pitch, continues the former Corinthians player and top scorer in the So Paulo Championship in 1982 (24 goals). The problem is that no one has understood that there is no new or old Neymar. It is the same as usual, with simulations, provocations towards the adversary, nothing changes. He never changed, but many people still believe his speech.
Galtier defends Neymar
In Paris, far from these virulent criticisms, Neymar was able to count on the support of his coach after the meeting. Christophe Galtier does not want his player to have left the stadium before the end of the match. You have to understand his frustration. He needed to vent his angersaid the Paris SG coach, who preferred to point the finger at arbitration to justify the behavior of his star.
I regret that the excess commitment was not punished more severely on my players, which could have generated a little frustration for Ney, explained Galtier. I can understand the simulation, a yellow deserved but a few minutes before he takes a bad blow and his first yellow is very severe compared to the many faults suffered by Ney. Like an air of dj vu.
