Alexandre Tite, coach of the Brazilian national football team, confirmed that Neymar is performing with the national team more than his performance with Paris Saint-Germain, because he has great help within the national team.
Neymar appeared superbly in the match in which his team swept his South Korean counterpart 5-1 in an international friendly match, where the Paris Saint-Germain star scored two goals from two penalties.
His eight assists in the match were twice as many as any other player on the pitch, as the South Koreans failed to match their opponents in the match.
Neymar’s performance in the Korean capital, Seoul, came at a time when there was speculation that he would leave his current club, Paris Saint-Germain, as the French champions seem ready to let him go.
And Tite thinks he can explain why Neymar might seem more important to the Brazilian national team.
In an interview with reporters, Tite said: Neymar is like a bow and arrow, and the benefit from it varies according to the match. He has that ability.
He added: In Paris Saint-Germain, he usually plays a little deeper than Messi and Mbappe, and this is not the way things are here, it is more than an arrow.
The Brazilian team will remain in the Asian region, where it will meet next Monday in a friendly match with the Japanese team in Tokyo.
