Former French international Robert Pirès didn’t like Neymar’s latest media outing at all.
Neymar left PSG only a few weeks ago. But he did not need more to spread what he had on his heart and in particular to settle his accounts with the supporters of the Ile-de-France team.
“Neymar can’t stand the pressure”
In an interview with O Globo, the Brazilian international said he “lived” through hell in Paris. Provocative deaths that inevitably resonated strongly in the French capital. Some did not hesitate to respond to the new player of Al Hilal.
Robert Pirès, who is nevertheless an ex-Marseillais, said he was scandalized by the words of the former number 10 in Paris. On Canal +, he even had a big rant on Sunday evening: “I call it mourners. You are a professional player and you have to know how to handle the pressure. Sometimes when you’re good, you’re happy to get praise. And when you’re not good, it’s part of the game.
“I call that mourners” 😳

For the 98 world champion, “Ney” may be talented but he does not have the mind to evolve at the highest level: “We have all been criticized. And me the first when I arrived at Arsenal. I had to replace Overmars and they said I sucked. I said nothing, I continued to work and it ended up paying off”.
In addition to Pirès, Christophe Jallet also vilified Neymar. He believes that the latter is not legitimate to complain about anything: “At some point, we are judged to live up to what we have given. At one point, he was not up to what he represented.
