PSG: up to three suspension matches for Neymar?

2021-04-04T11:34:28.693Z


Barely back from injury, the Brazilian receives a red card for gestures of humor. He will be missed again by his team for the two


The number 10 of PSG has once again let his frustration speak.

Saturday against Lille (0-1), Neymar was excluded after receiving two warnings for gestures of humor.

The first for a hand in the face of Benjamin André (48th) which could have been synonymous with direct red.

The second for a scramble with Tiago Djalo (90th) at the end of the game.

Not to mention a slight kick directed at the same Benjamin André at the time of the decision of the referee, Benoit Bastien, according to the images broadcast by Canal +.

Finally, the return to the locker room was also animated with Tiago Djalo, also excluded, and the two men had to be separated by third parties ...

What does Neymar risk now?

Automatically, the Brazilian is suspended for the next exit of PSG in Ligue 1, in Strasbourg next Saturday.

But the Disciplinary Commission of the LFP should take up the matter in view of the attitude of the Parisian.

If this is the case, his case will be studied on Wednesday.

According to the scales, he risks a match of additional suspension for "words or excessive or inappropriate gestures during the meeting".

But this sanction can climb to two games for the same reason "outside the game".

The events in the Parc des Princes tunnel which leads to the cloakroom fall within this framework.

With three games of suspension, Neymar would miss Strasbourg and Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 then the quarter-final of the Coupe de France on April 21.

In total 12 games missed

It could even be worse if the Disciplinary Commission considers Neymar's gestures as “voluntary push” or “attempted coup”.

Two possible options with regard to events on and off the field.

Four to five suspension games could be decided in the worst-case scenario for the Brazilian.

Especially since the former Barça is a repeat offender.

At the start of the season, his direct exclusion against OM (0-1), following discussions with defender Alvaro Gonzalez, resulted in two firm games of suspension and one suspended sentence.

The latter cannot be activated because the period of "ten games" provided for by the regulations of the LFP has passed.

Despite everything, the Neymar file thickens.

Against Lille, he suffered his fourth exclusion from PSG since his arrival in the summer of 2017. Not to mention the suspensions imposed by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee for insults towards a referee or by the FFF Disciplinary Committee for an inappropriate gesture towards a spectator.

In total, Neymar has already missed 12 games for disciplinary reasons with PSG ... And more will be added in the coming days.
