Antero Henrique: ‘Neymar the best player in the world’
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
The Portuguese director said: “Obviously, it’s not good that he will miss the game. He’s the best player in the world and is doing a fantastic job for us. He can also help us from the outside. He has a great spirit, and enjoys a fantastic relationship with his teammates, coaching staff and the fans. Though he can’t play, he has sent the players many messages of encouragement.
“It’s not a terribly serious injury – it’s a normal football injury. It’s not a drama, as he will only be absent for a few weeks. The problem is that it came at the worst possible moment, with a crucial match against Real Madrid on the horizon. It would have been better to face them with the best player in the world. Neymar is the leader of the team, so his teammates will give everything for him and for the club.
“Real Madrid is a match that we all hope to enjoy. Everyone is very motivated: fans, players, the press… It’s a very important day for PSG and for Paris, for the city. Together we will achieve great things.”
