First scorer of the evening, Joao Neves was PSG's best player on Sunday against OM (0-3). The Portuguese international is establishing himself as one of Luis Enrique's new midfielders.
At the conclusion of a nice move between Nuno Mendes and Bradley Barcola in the 6th minute of play, Joao Neves left his mark on his first Classic between OM and PSG this Sunday at the Vélodrome. In all the good offensive moves, the Portuguese international was valuable and shone alongside Vitinha and Zaire-Emery. Paris Saint-Germain's best midfielder since the start of the season, the former Benfica Lisbon pocket player confirmed Sunday evening in a match where Paris was eagerly awaited. It is no coincidence that The Team gave it the highest score of the match with a 7/10.
Joao Neves the new star of PSG
“The Portuguese therefore waited for the “Classic” to score his first goal with Paris. Well beyond this recovery, the former Benfica player showed to what extent, through his mobility and his technical accuracy, he could be an essential element of offensive animation. Often placed very high, he regularly made sharp axial calls. Without a ball, his mission – almost individually – was to muzzle Rabiot. He achieved it” noted the national daily, highlighting the very good match produced by Joao Neves for his first at the Vélodrome. In addition to establishing himself as a captain of Luis Enrique, the Portuguese is gradually becoming the darling of an entire audience, as demonstrated by the numerous laudatory messages from listeners on X.
“Not very tall, enormous cardio, strong in duels, very good technically, intelligent in movements, passer and now scorer… He impresses me: I find no significant weakness in him. The package is INSANE”, “My satisfaction of the evening is Joao Neves. What a fantastic player, we have to take care of him, he’s THE crack he thinks he is” or even “I will speak French, at the end of his adventure at PSG, Joao Neves will be a better recruit than Kylian Mbappé” can we read on social networks where among Parisian supporters, we are starting to seriously get excited about the flagship recruit of the PSG transfer window. It must be said that Joao Neves does nothing to leave anyone indifferent by delivering performances like the very successful one on Sunday against OM.
