Neymar managed to steal the heart of the PSG coach

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was rumored to be selling Neymar in the transfer market last summer. But the Brazilian is now a mainstay of Christophe Galtier, the new coach of Les Parisiens.

PSG made an overhaul in the management department after failing to win the Champions League again. Leonardo and Mauricio Pochettino had to step down from the posts of sporting director and coach.

Luis Campos was then appointed as Leonardo’s successor. He then appointed Galtier as a new coach.

At the beginning of his arrival, Campos wanted to get rid of a number of PSG stars who were considered to be worn out. Neymar is said to be on this list as he is starting to be prone to injury.

PSG reportedly had offered Neymar to a number of clubs. But the 30-year-old player in the end stayed at the Parc des Princes.

Who would have thought that Neymar’s survival would be a blessing in disguise for PSG. His presence made the front line of the French giant unstoppable.

Galtier was surprisingly able to maximize the potential of the trio of Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe. Pochettino failed to do so last season.

Interestingly, Neymar became the most prominent player in the PSG front line trio. He has so far been able to record 10 goals and 7 assists from 9 matches in all competitions.

No wonder Galtier praised Neymar. He admitted that he was impressed with the work ethic of his player.

“I’ve always considered him one of the best players on the planet. But I have more information and a keen eye on his daily investments,” Galtier told Goal.

“He is invested not only on a personal level but also in the interests of the team. That is done before, during and after training sessions.”

Galtier’s statement seemed to dismiss the image of Neymar who was considered less professional. The former Barcelona player has been known to skip training several times and likes to attend parties.

Neymar’s weight also appeared to be less than ideal after undergoing summer vacation. This shows that he lacks discipline.

Galtier seems to have thought the same thing. No wonder he was surprised by Neymar’s behavior.

He is a great professional and a great player. I watch him happily every day.”
