Neymar: Nantes manager's cheeky in-game comment to PSG star

Neymar looks like a man reborn at Paris Saint-Germain.

Throughout the summer transfer window, the Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move away from the club he joined for a world record fee of £198 million in 2017.

But Neymar clearly wants to remain in Paris and on the pitch, the mercurial looks more determined to succeed than he ever has.

In pre-season, the former Barcelona forward turned in some wonderful displays and he was absolutely electric in PSG‘s 4-0 win over Nantes in the Trophee des Champions.

Neymar scored twice in the emphatic victory last Sunday evening courtesy of an inch-perfect free-kick and an ice-cold penalty.

And as well as delivering the goods in front of goal, the Brazil international is working hard and doing his bit defensively.

In recent times, Neymar – along with his partner-in-crime Lionel Messi – has been heavily criticised for being ‘lazy’ during matches.

But he appears to have had a change of mindset, one which Nantes manager Antoine Kombouare couldn’t resist making a cheeky comment about from the sideline.

In just the third minute of proceedings when the scores were level at 0-0, Neymar pressed his opponent and deflected the ball out for a throw-in.

Kombouare clearly couldn’t believe what he’d just seen, because he said: “Are you defending now?”
