"Neymar is sometimes provocative, it's a real shame"

In a press conference before the Champions League game against Real Madrid, it seemed that things weren't calm in the French team. The squad's own leader admitted that he did not like some of Neymar's behaviour.

"He has a big heart, but, unfortunately, he doesn't always show that he is a generous and trusting boy, sometimes he is provocative and it's a true shame because it is not necessary," he said to the media. But what does he mean by provocative?

The attacker has a very characteristic way of playing. He tends to pull him self out of nothingness whether or not he's winning the game. In many duels, this has caused him problems with his rivals, 

There is an open debate about him, with two well argued positions. The first is that, if the game has already been won, it is unnecessary, Neymar should abstain. The other, that football is a show and, at the end of the day, without dribbles like his, the sport would lose its touch.

But it's not only about playing with the ball between your feet. When there are discussions on the pitch, Neymar is usually smiling and hesitant when he talks to his opponents. What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, but his coach does not see the funny side of this.

There are rumours about his possible exit from PSG to return to Barcelona. He was also in Real Madrid's plans, but it seems a much more distant possibility. If there are disagreements between him and his coach, it may facilitate his departure from the French capital.

In any case, now he has a tough game ahead of him in the Champions League against Real Madrid. He is expected to be a starter and show that game, provocative or magical -and will judge the respectable- to try to overcome the Spanish at the Santiago Bernabeu.
