We know that the relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar since their joint arrival at Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 has only deteriorated over the years. When he arrived in the capital, the Brazilian was considered one of the best players in the world and the likely future Ballon d’Or in the years to come. Qatari leaders know this well and do not hesitate to break all records with a transfer worth 220 million euros. The Frenchman, who would be affected by an illness from which millions of French people suffer each year, arrives in Paris for the astronomical sum of 180 million with the status of a prodigy with a destiny close to Cristiano Ronaldo or Zinedine Zidane.
An association that will create sparks on the field, but also behind the scenes. When Lionel Messi arrived in the summer of 2021 from Barcelona, the trio of stars he constituted with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar made football fans around the world salivate. Unfortunately, the team will never find its rhythm and the Argentinian and the Brazilian leave the club during the 2023 transfer window. Today, the 32-year-old former PSG star, who is expecting his fourth child, is based in Saudi Arabia , where he plays for the Al-Hilal FC club and this Thursday, January 16, he gave an interview to the media Romario TV in which he looks back on his Parisian years.
The opportunity for Neymar to make some revelations about his relationship with Kylian Mbappé, which nevertheless got off to a good start. “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”explains the former PSG player, mocked for his weight last year, before revealing what, according to him, changed things: “More 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 startedbehavioral changes.”
-Ego destroyed PSG’s European dreams for Neymar
A statement which did not fail to provoke a reaction and Neymar’s words are already making a lot of noise in the media and on social networks. Still facing Romario, Brazilian football legend of the 90s, the footballer accused of work hidden in France by a former employee, also looks back on the repeated failures of PSG in the Champions League. For the Brazilian, the answer is in one word. “The ego, the ego. I think having an ego is a good thing, you have to believe that you are the best… but you have to understand that you don’t play alone. Nowadays, if everyone doesn’t help, it’s impossible to gain anything”he analyzes.
