There was a reason Messi forgot the game at that point; Neymar
Last year when Messi left Barcelona and came to PSG, the discussion of the football world was regarding the shortcomings of Messi’s performance. Questions arose as to whether the Barcelona favorite had forgotten the game when he arrived on Paris soil.
From PSG’s first season, Messi managed to score only 11 goals and 15 assists. For a phenom like Messi, it was tantamount to being on the bench.
Many people pointed out many reasons for Messi’s lack of form. There were even comments that Messi might not play anywhere else in the world but Barcelona.
Now Messi’s dear friend and PSG teammate Neymar himself has come up with an answer in this regard. Neymar says that this happened because he came to a completely different situation following staying at Barcelona for a long time.
‘I’ve known Leo for ages. I was able to help him a lot during training. I used to talk to him during training. Adjusting to such a big change all of a sudden is not easy.
He was at Barcelona that long. For Leo and his family, coming from there suddenly to here was like changing their entire lives. I know it must have been very difficult for Leo.
But things are better now. He is starting to feel at home here. I want him and us to enjoy this time together as much as possible.
Know that there are some difficult times ahead. There are some obstacles and problems ahead. But we will be able to overcome it,’ says Neymar.
A performance that lives up to Neymar’s words is now coming from Argentina’s messiah. Messi is filling the field for PSG with great goals and even better assists.
