If Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain through the back door before going into exile in Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023, the Brazilian international leaves an indelible mark in the capital. Arriving with great fanfare in 2017, the “Ney” amazed all observers during his first steps with the Parisian jersey.
Some players who rubbed shoulders with the Brazilian star at that time have forgotten nothing of his virtuosity. This is the case of Yacine Adli. Today in Italy, on the Fiorentina side, the Franco-Algerian midfielder was still a Parisian titi when Neymar lit up Ligue 1 with his talent.
“Everything he does is extraordinary”
Adli remembered that time. “ Neymar, when he arrives in Paris, he’s an alienenthused the former Parisian in an interview with streamer Zack Nani. Everything he does is extraordinary. He makes a pass, the pass is extraordinary, he dribbles, he knows how to do everything. We have a possession, he doesn’t lose the ball. We play a reduced game over 20 meters, he scores 7-8 goals, he’s a machine.”
“ I’ve never seen a guy like that. Neymar is far superior to Ronaldinho, it’s too, too much, too much, too strong. He is just below Messi and Ronaldo“, concluded Adli.
