Messi’s PSG undergoes its first interns: Neymar’s explosive “likes” against Mbappé and the Frenchman’s anger

The PSGsample of Liga 1, began his title defense in fifth gear, with two victories in which he scored 5 goals and which showed him more dominant than ever. To this must be added the 4-0 against Nantes to get the French Super Cup, in Tel Aviv. A steamroller, at least locally.

However, not all that glitters is gold in the intimacy of the Leone Messi because parallel to that incessant walk, the daily life of the changing rooms sees an intern among the stars Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr.who had his first short circuit in the last few hours, when the Brazilian “liked” a tweet that, with a tone of denunciation, openly denounced that the Frenchman is the new owner of the club.

Everything comes to mind about what happened a couple of months ago at the end of last season. Kylian threatened to go to Real Madrid but eventually arranged his renewal with the Qatari moguls in exchange for a fortune and reportedly the power to implement changes and rules within a locker room that has been listed as prone to indiscipline.

In keeping with that version, it was after the arrival of the DT Christophe Galtier (a weak point of Mbappé) who started sweeping the campus of the paris st germainthe squad was reduced by deleting the Argentines By Maria, Paredes and Icardifor example, and the alternative of negotiating with Neymar was raised, indicated by the local press as the most undisciplined link when it comes to respecting the guidelines for coexistence.

Ney finally stayed and started the season to cover the mouths of all his detractors, with five goals of all kinds and four assists in three games, and marks that his collaboration with friend Messi promises to wipe out the stats. Also, the mocking and “putting him to sleep” celebrations of him every time he converts seem destined for his critics. And Mbappé also ended up falling into that bag.

The Frenchman, absent for most of the preseason and on the first appointment due to physical problems, started the 5-2 draw against Montpellier at the Parc des Princes this Saturday but on his debut remained in the background due to the great game of Neymar.

That feeling was evident when the opposing goalkeeper saved a penalty with 0-0, while shortly thereafter Neymar sufficiently transformed a new twelve-step shot.

It wasn’t Mbappé’s night, who was finally able to score a goal even though his most outstanding action was a viralized video in which he sees himself annoyed and disengaged from the game because they have not passed him a ball on the counterattack.

Mbappé’s bad mood

According to local press information, Mbappé is going through a crisis at the beginning of the season. While Neymar, on the other hand, “shines”; a nice word to explain this rebirth of the crack that in 2017 set the record for the most expensive passage in the history of football, reaching PSG for a sum of over 220 million euros.

“In his attitude, in his gestures, in his interactions with the team, Mbappé never seemed completely calmAs if I have lost something. Quite the opposite of Neymar, who enjoys and delights his teammates “, commented RMC Sports. He added, announcing what is to come:” The Brazilian shines, his joy of being on the ground radiates around him, and he is a group whole that he carries with him. In short, everything that Kylian Mbappé did a few months ago. “

Indeed, despite scoring one goal and participating in two others, Mbappé barely celebrated the victory over Montpellier, as if he were angry with someone or even himself.

“We are sorry someone frustrated for not being able to start the season, frustrated at missing this penalty, frustrated because Neymar wanted to kick him and for not being decisive at the start of the game, “said Kevin Diaz, TV commentator.

But DT Galtier also spoke of Mbappé, who highlighted his competitive spirit and indicated a physical decline. “He is a competitor, he wants to be good and he wants to be fast. When he is at 100 percent he will make even more difference. They are players who like to score, who want to score goals. It’s kind of normal that he’s … no, not disappointed, but a little short physically compared to his peers“, he carefully analyzed.

Italian Marco Verrettione of those who saved himself from the Parisian scythe implemented in the European summer, also asked for caution and patience, waiting for the best Mbappé.

“Kylian is a player who always wants to do well. I think after the missed penalty he was in a bit of a bad mood, but that’s normal, he’s a great player, he always wants to make a difference. When something fails, he’s disappointed,” he said. . And then he concluded optimistically: “It’s nice when he’s angry because it means he cares a lot about this team, that he wants to do well, that he wants to make a difference.”

Neymar’s palaces in Mbappé

The story could have ended there but it was Neymar who decided to blow up the house of cards built as containment around Mbappé in this championship debut. much more earthy than in other times for the attacker.

In the Parisian night, the former Santos and Barcelona he succumbed to the temptation to “like” them on Twitter to different messages that seem to coincide with what he must think but cannot say, at least publicly.

The apparent reason, the decision that Mbappé is in charge of taking the penalties of PSG, endorsed by DT Galtier. The bonus? I would like to point out that in the Parisian team they do what the crack of Monaco wants.

“It’s official, Mbappé is the one who takes the penalties at PSG. Clearly this is in the contract because no club in the world that has Neymar would choose him as a second option, no one! It seems that Mbappé is PSG owner by contract.”yelled user @Neymargiabr, who collected thousands and thousands of “likes” but none as important as the player himself.

“The best penalty in the world has a name and a nickname: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior. Respect my 10, ok?” Asks another, also in Portuguese.

And a third “faveado” message from the Brazilian insists: “Neymar scored and humiliated (once again) the goalkeeper from the spot; Mbappé, on the other hand, kicked very badly and missed. After the match, the coach said that Mbappé is responsible for the penalty kicks, nonsense! “

As for the numbers, Neymar has kicked 86 penalties and converted 71 throughout his career, a very favorable report that becomes even more eloquent if you downsize what has happened in recent years: from January 2018 to today he took on 39 penalties and only wasted 3.

Mbappé’s thing is much humbler: he only took 25 penalties and missed 5 from the start, which does not distinguish him as a specialist in the sector. Hence the claim, given that according to Galtier or Mbappé himself it would have been the Frenchman to take charge of the penalty against Montpellier.

In the remainder of August, PSG will have a schedule with visits to Lille and Toulouse, and in the meantime it will be local against Monaco. But it seems so simple this Ligue 1 that the most transcendental will arrive on Thursday 25th, when the groups of Champions League 2023.

It is worth mentioning that last year did not hit the hype, it fell in the Manchester City area, he was second and crossed paths with Real Madrid in the round of 16so he will wait for a wink of fate in his obsession with calling out continental champion.

In the midst of this already complicated task, Galtier and company will have to stop the tsunami that will befall them in the locker room in time if they cannot calm the war of egos that threatens. a team that wins, likes and scores but doesn’t know how to smile.
