Neymar surprises with a holiday tummy - nasty comparison with the FC Bayern legend

Superstar Neymar is apparently enjoying his vacation, before the start of the season at Paris Saint-Germain he was well fed.

The vacation photos caused a lot of ridicule - and a comparison with a Bayern legend.

Ibiza - On July 10, a long season ended for Neymar with a 1-0 loss to arch-rivals Argentina in the Copa America final.

Even before the continental tournament, the star of Paris Saint-Germain * experienced mostly setbacks with his team, so they were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League and had to leave the championship title to the strong OSC Lille *.

So Neymar had every reason to switch off.

Neymar: Paris Saint-Germain superstar causes a stir with extra pounds - will he miss the league start now?

After almost a month, Neymar seems to have recovered, most recently the 29-year-old was on vacation in Ibiza. The superstar was not in top form in the latest photos, on the contrary: the Brazilian revealed a small tummy. The difference to the body before the end of the season is clearly visible on the paparazzi recordings, and at the Copa America final he seemed to be in top form.

Whether PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino will bet on Neymar despite the extra kilos will probably already be evident on the first day of Ligue 1 * next Saturday.

The offensive player could probably take a break against second division champions ES Troyes AC, even if he could be in the squad.

Without the 222 million purchase from 2017, the French runner-up already played the Super Cup duel against last year's champions Lille last Sunday and promptly lost 1-0.

Neymar: French newspaper scoffs at Brazilians - nasty comparison with 47-year-old FC Bayern icon

“Should we worry about Neymar's silhouette?” Headlined the French sports newspaper L'Équipe on Tuesday evening.

There is also a lot of ridicule on social media about the extra pounds of the noble technician.

The Spanish portal

even went so far and compared the exceptional player with a legend from FC Bayern *.

The comparison shows on the one hand the most recent snapshot of Neymar's stomach, on the other hand the now 47-year-old Zé Roberto is shown. Neymar could actually get one or two tips from the former professional from Bayer Leverkusen *, Hamburger SV and FC Bayern. Because Zé Roberto * only ended his professional career in 2017 at the age of 43, thanks in part to his exemplary approach to his job.
