Neymar is more suitable as a center-forward

DBasia.news – Tite, coach of the Brazilian national team, disagrees with people’s opinion about Neymar not being good as a winger. He said Neymar could develop his skills as a center-forward.

Neymar is used to criticism, especially at PSG (Paris Saint-Germain). Since breaking the world transfer record, and surviving to this day, in 2017, Neymar has never performed optimally at PSG as he did at Barcelona.

Currently at the age of 30 years of rumors of his departure from PSG emerged. Theories have also emerged regarding the reasons for Neymar’s inconsistent appearance, including one of them being the wrong playing position.

The former Santos player had successfully won the treble winners with Luis Enrique’s Barcelona, ​​at that time he played as a left wing striker with Luis Suarez in the middle and Lionel Messi on the right.

The same position he plays at PSG with Kylian Mbappe in the center and Messi on the right, but Tite, who knows him in Brazil, insists on seeing Neymar as a center-forward.

In that position the number 10 jersey user in Brazil can develop their creativity. Neymar is not a center-forward who converts chances from team-mates into goals, but he is also a playmaker in that position.

Tite also considered that only a donkey (fool) placed him as a winger.

“He (Neymar) is not a problem, he is a solution. They say Neymar will make more mistakes playing there (winer). But it’s his position that makes him make more mistakes, because everything he does creatively will determine,” Tite said on the Sextra Estrela podcast.

“If a coach played Neymar on the wing, I would call him a donkey. This severely limits the creative capacity of a player of this quality.”

“Creativity is not constancy, it is contingency, it is indirect. He will make more mistakes, yes, because his creative ability is where he is needed.”
