"Hey, Ney, can you give me your jersey at the end?"
“No, this little sentence was not uttered by a young Parisian supporter, but by Stéphane Moulin, Angers coach.

Neymar, who at first does not seem to have understood, approaches the coach who reiterates his request, accepted by the star of PSG.
The one who holds the record for longevity on a bench in Ligue 1 (in office since 2011) explained this Sunday, in a short statement published on the Twitter account of the SCO of Angers.
"I am the father of an 8-year-old boy, to whom I had promised Neymar's jersey," he explained, while acknowledging that he was "impatient".

The 53-year-old coach estimated that this approach had "no impact on the result".
At the time of the request, there were three minutes left to play ...
"I regret the interpretation that was made but I will learn from it," said the coach.
This scene, captured by the cameras of Canal +, had caused a lot of mockery on social networks.
