Neymar Is Called KLess Effective Because He Likes to throw away opportunities

DBasia.news – Even though he was able to bring Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final, Neymar still seems to be often wasting opportunities. He was said to have appeared ineffective against RB Leipzig.

PSG managed to defeat RB Leipzig 3-0 Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal, in the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday (19/8/2020). Three goals from Marquinhos, Angel Di Maria and Juan Bernat led Les Parisiens to the final.

In this match, Neymar performed beautifully as a motor for PSG’s attack. He provided assists for his team’s second goal which was created by Di Maria.

Quoted from Opta, he also successfully won 12 duels and created two opportunities. The accuracy of the pass in the opposing area is also quite good with a percentage of successful passes of 80.6 percent.

However, there is one thing that Neymar must fix immediately, namely the problem of final resolution. This Brazilian player wasted a lot of opportunities in this match.

Neymar recorded five shots in the 90 minutes. None of the five experiments was right on target.

Two Neymar shots hit the Leipzig goal post. Meanwhile, the other three were off target.

Neymar’s shots that hit the post all came in the first half. At the start of the match, he failed to take advantage of the one on one situation with Leipzig goalkeeper, Peter Gulacsi, after his strike hit the left post.

The left pole again became his enemy in the 35th minute. This time, he failed to score from a free kick scheme.

In a moment in the second half, Neymar also failed to take advantage of the opportunity through a fast counterattack. He slipped when he received Kylian Mbappe’s bait. Even though at that time the Leipzig defender was left with Angelino.

The problem of final resolution has been Neymar’s disease since the quarter-finals when PSG won 2-1 over Atalanta. He took seven shots in that match, but none of them resulted in a goal.

Of the seven attempts, only two were pushed over by Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Sportiello. Neymar’s other four shots missed the target and one was blocked by the opposing player.

Neymar’s habit of wasting this opportunity certainly cannot be repeated in the top match later.
