I think it might be a messy mix of many things tbh. No reason is the sole reason.
Do anyone remember how Ney's last season in Barça was? I wasn't around that time but I've read some ppl said that he was 'misused' and was playing out of position (they said he played as LWB). There's also this piece of news where Suarez said he didn't like how Ney was the target of criticism for Barça's poor performance (honestly I don't remember Barça fans ever scapegoated him EVER. But that might be just me). Oh, and the sayings that Dni Alvs might have influenced his PSG decision?
Leo said that he never found out the reason about why Neymar left, but surely he must have some thoughts about it. He seemed really sad when he mentioned it in Neymar’s documentary. So what do you think he thinks is the reason for Neymar’s departure?
well, yeah bestie! leo always says he doesn't know the motive ney left. and he is completely genuine when he says it. but i think that if ney didn't tell HIM the motive, he should figure out that is something else here :')
i know i'm a ficwriter, i know i'm biased and sometimes i'm delusional BUT, LOOK, LISTEN everyone on earth says neymar left because he was feeling he'd never be the man of the team because of leo. how can leo not know this was the motive then? so i really think it might be something else. and no idk what it is exactly.
also: leo literally said "I want you back. In two more years I'm gone and you are going to be the 10." the sad thing is ney actually did regret leaving and tried to come back. barcelona didn't do enough for him and it left leo pissed as we already know. but i think that if he regretted going to psg and wanted to come back, it couldn't be about the "being the man of the team" stuff. so I DON'T KNOW 😭 what do ya think?
here, take this vid :')
the more City score the more boring it gets. Like wow a billion pound club scoring goals after buying the worlds most expensive players and paying them a ludicrous amount of money I’m so shocked that’s so amazing and mind-blowing
I agree with anon. Everytime I see claims of Neymar being lazy or unserious, most of the time it comes from either "journalists" or fans, or sometimes, club boards/management; 𝗻𝗼𝘁 his coaches, not his teammates, nor the staffs or medical practitioners of his teams (y'know, people who 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 work with him in footballing aspects).
He has played in 3 different continents and 4 different countries, with 5 different teams. (Okay, maybe we don't count Saudi yet, since he just moved there) That's still numerous people of different backgrounds, a lot of different cultures, customs, and perspectives. Some of his coaches may complain about his family issues, or how he "influences the dressing room", but rarely anyone mentioned his lack of football related passion or professionalism. Heck, Thomas Tuchel is quite known for being strict and he ADORES Neymar.
I think it's worth noting that, one of the most severely underrated trait of Neymar is his ability to bounce back from injuries. And that's not something you can do without some mad dedication and work ethics.
Also, I don't like people who don't watch him at PSG talking like they know shit 🙃 (sometimes these people may also say that Neymar plays at LW in 2023 🙃). Shut up. He improves his games at PSG and those improvements aren't always things seen on stats.
No offense but why do people keep saying Neymar’s off the field lifestyle like it’s not something the press invented. If it was off that then psg fans should know Dembele’s lifestyle is worse than neymar at least he never came late to training. I hate that I even have to defend Neymar right but all these off the field BS is all made up by the British press! Jack grealish and other Players in the EPL have a wild lifestyle (I know this for a fact because I see them almost every weekend in Bagatelle, London) yet they are treated like media darlings because they are not South American or what. It’s like saying Lewis off the grid lifestyle is unprofessional. Please to be an elite athlete is NOT easy at all if Neymar wasn’t professional he wouldn’t have gotten this far…all time top scorer and top assist for Brazil national team is NOT a joke and I feel a lot of people are being unnecessarily disrespectful to him off projections no one even knows if it’s true or not and it’s so unfair. US athletes party a lot…even openly and are not criticized half of how Neymar is even with no evidence but off what a reporter says about him or what he posts with his friends.
I don’t know if this is aimed and me, but if it is:
1. I don’t read English tabloids (anymore). And when I did it was only the celeb things. No sports.
2. Lewis DID receive a lot of slack for his off track life style yeaaaars ago. Too busy with music, fashion, models, social media even. You name it and he heard, but the difference is he kept performing and at the highest level. So for me the comparison between these two is just not it. Even now in a team that’s way less he still gives it 110% to get them back to the top.
I think with Neymar is clear he is more free when it comes to his off field life. He enjoys his parties, poker tournaments and chilling with friends; the thing is his performance has not been on that Barca level in my eyes. He showed flares of it during matches, but not consistent like he did in his final 1.5 with barca. Besides: Ligue 1 ain’t no La Liga. With the Neymar I’ve seen and followed very closely at barca I expected way more than to end his club career at 31 with 1 CL.
He has accomplished a lot. Like you also said and I agreed: I just know it could have been much more and I think - and feel - very sad it ends like this for him.
literally im going to hunt down his barber… HES FUCKING BALD
KUN WHAT IS THIS 😭😭
I didn't know seeing Neymar playing alongside Zlatan is something I need before that ask
Me neither anon, now I desperately want them to play in the same team. Which is probably never going to happen…
Good idea, I should try
currently: rewatching old barca matches to feel something
what does suarez comment mean the translation makes no sense LOL
LOLLLL lowkey unsure but I’m kinda understanding it as Suarez telling Neymar like “aww it’s nice that you’re being supportive and posting this photo of him but now get back at him (jokingly since he won the WC) by getting him a “bad roast” (I think roasts are commonly had meals in Argentina). IF I AM WRONG SOMEONE LET ME KNOW BELOW
LOL THE WAY MESSI AND INIESTA ARE JUST STARING AT HIM ON THE GROUND 😭😭
the apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect was
