PSG: when Neymar refuses to talk about Mbappé

“With Kylian?

Pfff...” On his words, Neymar left several journalists in the lurch and a question unanswered.

After Brazil's victory against Ghana (3-0) on Friday in Le Havre, a reporter tried to question the playmaker about his agreement with Kylian Mbappé.

The Brazilian seemed to hesitate before preferring to leave the mixed zone.

Author of two assists against the Black Stars, the 30-year-old attacking player first had his interlocutor repeat before letting his exasperation speak.

If the scene opens the door to interpretations, especially those who would like the two teammates to no longer get along, the hypothesis of a Neymar simply annoyed at being questioned on a subject outside his performances with the Seleçao is not to exclude.

🚨 When Neymar was asked by a journalist about his relationship with Kylian Mbappé, the Brazilian didn't answer and left.

Thursday against Austria (2-0), Mbappé was also inspired, scoring the first French goal and signaling himself on the vast majority of tricolor actions.

In the mixed zone, the Parisian striker claimed that he preferred to evolve alongside a fulcrum such as Olivier Giroud.

This association, he does not find it under the colors of PSG.

“I am asked other things here than in the club.

I have a lot more freedom here, the coach knows that there is a number 9 like Olive who occupies the defenses.

Me, I can walk around, go into space, ask for balloons... In Paris, there isn't that, it's different, I'm asked to do the pivot.

At the Ligue 1 leader, the native of Bondy is aligned alone at the forefront of the attack but his Brazilian partner has great influence in the same area of ​​play as the Frenchman.

That hasn't stopped Neymar from providing three assists for the 23-year-old striker since the start of the season.

Mbappé did not return the favor.

A first controversy had already pointed the tip of his nose on the second day of Ligue 1. After missing a first penalty against Montpellier (5-2), the Habs had little taste for Neymar taking charge of shooting, and transforming, the second obtained by Paris.

After the game, the Twitter profile of the former Barça player had raised fears of the start of a new "penaltygate".

He had liked messages praising his quality as a penalty taker and others criticizing Mbappé's failed attempt.
