According to 'UOL Esporte,' Neymar is already sick of French football. The Brazilian has reportedly denounced the brutal tactics deployed by opponents to stop him and the poor state of the Ligue 1 pitches.

Rumours have been circulating recently about a potential record-breaking move to the Bernabeu

In his homeland of Brazil, the media continue to speculate about the wellbeing of the Parisian No. 10: "The five months he's spent there feel like five years."

Neymar is apparently unhappy in the French capital and keen to force a move away as soon as possible, with Real Madrid being his hopeful saviour. 

'OUL Esporte' named the reasons that unleashed Neymar's desire to flee, highlighting the hacking he faces, refereeing passivity, and the shocking state of the pitches

Neymar refused to bite his tongue: "They whack me and I play football. They provoke, but I know how to provoke too, with the ball. I'm not used to kicking people, I don't know how to do it. I defend myself with the ball."

In Ligue 1, the Brazilian faces an average of 5.2 fouls per game whilst at Barcelona his average was 3.5.

On top of the excessive physicality, Neymar feels that the pitches in France are dangerous, with potholes that can prove perilous for the players' ankles.

The No. 10 is also reportedly unhappy about having to take the coach to get to away days.
