This is an interview that is likely to be talked about a lot, but which undoubtedly deserves some context. In a long interview published this Sunday by the Brazilian site O Globo, Neymar admits having lived with Messi “hell” at PSG when discussing the world title of his Argentinian friend. “I was very happy with the year he had, but at the same time sad because he knew both sides of the coin. He won the sky with the selection and in Paris he lived through hell. At PSG, we went through hell for him as well as me. It hurt us, we are here to give our best, to be champions, to make history. That’s why we got together again. Unfortunately we did not succeed. »
Words that could sound like a violent projection from his former club, but which were apparently made last June, during Neymar’s vacation in Brazil. In the introduction, O Globo mentions having made this exchange the day after Neymar’s public apology in a case of infidelity to his companion, on June 22, but does not explain why it was published almost two months ago. later.
‘Messi was unfairly criticized’
Another confirmation: in this interview, he is asked if he saw himself one day in Saudi Arabia or in another “exotic” market. Neymar’s response: “I can’t say whether I would or not”. Since then, we know the story, he joined Al-Hilal…
Important elements of context for reading this interview with Neymar, who therefore still belonged to PSG at that time and was still far from signing in Saudi Arabia. It was therefore not an interview to settle accounts, even if his remarks are no less interesting.
On Messi, whose departure from Paris was already recorded, the Brazilian is also quite scathing: “Messi left PSG in a way that he did not deserve in terms of football. For everything he is, everything he does, everyone who knows him knows that, he’s a guy who trains, fights, gets angry if he loses, and he has been unfairly criticized in my opinion. »
