All the different observers are seduced by the Parisian team which is a delight on all levels and which shows incredible solidarity on the pitch. One of the players who perfectly symbolizes this new state of mind: Joao Neves.
The Portuguese midfielder is one of the key players in Luis Enrique’s tactical system. And even more so since the start of the season where he shines in all areas of the game, particularly in finishing where he has so far brought his total to 8 goals in all competitions since the Club World Cup.
Number 87 impresses all the followers who are under its spell. “João Neves is a gift for all coaches. To my great regret, PSG did well to buy him. He is always very positive. He is full of energy and he loves passing it on to his teammates,” said Roger Schmidt, his former coach at Benfica.
Before continuing: “As soon as there is the slightest thing to gain, he will do everything to achieve it. He is the same in everyday life, even if he can give the impression of being a little reserved. » “Everything you want from a top player, João can provide. It’s very rare to find so many defensive and offensive qualities in a footballer. He can do everything: bicycles, volleys, defend, be physically dominant. It’s already one of the best in the world. Every team would be happy to have a player and a man like him. »
Decisive against Tottenham this Wednesday evening?
Unless there is a turnaround or surprise, Joao Neves should start the match against Tottenham this Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes for the 5th day of the regular phase of the Champions League.
Scorer against Bayern Munich, the Portuguese will surely want to do it again and prove decisive once again. By his side in the middle Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha will have to pull out all the stops and help him erase the setback against the Munich players on November 4.
