Neymar, upset presentation

His six years at PSG were not enough for Neymar to learn French.

Arrived in Saudi Arabia, Neymar discovers his new environment. The Brazilian thus met his new teammates at Al-Hilal, including Kalidou Koulibaly, who landed a few weeks earlier from Chelsea.

The Senegalese, born in the Vosges, hoped to be able to speak with the former Parisian in French. But his six years spent in Paris did not allow the native of Santos to learn the language of Molière. “French? A little bit “, thus simply replied Neymar when the former Neapolitan asked him if he spoke French.
