Ney’s parties continue to grab headlines in France and PSG’s latest results are not positive.

He Paris Saint Germain tries to get out of his crisis in the league match tomorrow Sunday against the Lillewith its Brazilian star Neymar back in the eye of the hurricane for his lifestyle.

The Parisian club has chained three consecutive defeats (league, elimination from the Cup and in the Champions League), something never seen since November 2011, very shortly after the arrival of the current Qatari owners.

If two other league defeats are added, the PSG lost five games in just over a month, without the remodeling of the dressing room last summer seeming to have worked and with the coach Christophe Galtieralso arrived in the preseason, already questioned.

The last defeat was the most significant, last Tuesday against the Bayern Munich 0-1, which also endangers the true objective of the PSGthe Championssince not winning the weak French league seems out of doubt.

After that defeat, Kylian Mbappe urged his teammates to apply themselves to lift the round of 16 tie in Germany. “Above all, our players need to be in good health. Everyone must eat well, sleep well and prepare as much as possible,” said the French star.

But just the next day Neymar He gave the note when photos appeared of him at a poker tournament – a commitment he had had for some time – and having a hamburger at a fast food chain for dinner.

“I told him what I thought,” he told the press. Galtierwho even so recognized that the player has the right to dispose of his free time as he wishes.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian’s performance, full of ups and downs, has again generated criticism, especially in the last two months, overshadowed by a Messi world champion and an omnipresent Mbappe.

From the player’s environment it has slipped to the French press that Neymar It has been difficult for him to recover from an injury suffered in his right ankle during the Qatar World Cup (a contusion of a lateral ligament and a bone edema).

As strong as the criticisms of his game and his lifestyle may be, Neymar has a contract with him PSG until 2027 and his stratospheric salary and his age, 31, make it highly unlikely that any other team would want to recruit him, so the Parisians and the Brazilian star seem destined to continue together.

In the last winter market there was information about a possible interest of the Chelsea English, but finally the London club focused on signing young talent, especially with the Argentine Enzo Fernandez and the ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk.

After the market closes, the lifestyle and festivities of Ney continue to make headlines in France. The team publishes this Saturday a report with testimonies from the Brazilian player’s neighbors in Bougival, a wealthy town of 8,000 inhabitants on the outskirts of Paris.

“This person has absolutely no respect. The fact that he is Neymar does not excuse him. Some of his parties have lasted 48 hours,” complains a resident of the town.

The latest example was the celebration of the player’s last birthday, on February 5, with music in the open air until midnight on the 5,000-square-meter land that his mansion has.

The mayor himself Luc Watelleconfessed “impotent” in the pages of Le Parisien for the frequent and noisy parties of the Brazilian.

Other neighbors feel less bothered. “You can hear the screams of girls and the roar of engines, but it’s acceptable. It happens once a month at most,” says another inhabitant.
