PSG coach opens up about Neymar’s rising performance
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Neymar has since flaunted his actions the 2022-2033 season started. According to the coach, Christophe Galtier, it was not a mere coincidence.
Neymar’s future at PSG was in question last summer. He is reportedly on the selling list as he has never been able to bring Les Parisiens to the Champions League title.
The Champions League trophy was indeed one of the main reasons PSG wanted to redeem Neymar from Barcelona for 222 million euros in the summer of 2017. The Brazilian star is considered to have the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But PSG’s bet on Neymar did not show result. The player’s appearance was inconsistent and was often injured.
But Neymar began to answer doubts. Throughout this season, he has recorded 12 goals and 9 assists from 16 matches in all competitions.
Galtier’s presence as coach is considered the main reason Neymar was able to rise. But the tactician actually praised his players.
“Neymar is playing well and is fit. He arrived at the start of pre-season, advancing his holiday until he is physically and mentally ready,” Galtier said as quoted by Goal.
“He works hard and stays focused. He is always available in training and is unscathed.”
Neymar continued to show his magic when PSG dueled with Olympique Marseille, last weekend. He scored a single goal to bring his team to three points and firmly at the top of the standings.
Galtier considers Neymar’s scintillating performance to be achieved thanks to careful preparation during pre-season. This also keeps him from getting injured.
“There are no secrets in football. If he is physically fit, it allows him to continue at a good level.”
