Neymar is the biggest failure in football history, firing at the Brazilian in France

Neymar is the most expensive player in football history and the man who changed the transfer market forever. He was also the footballer who was to lead PSG to the European throne. However, he has failed to do so and is under attack in France.

PSG had a big shock at the weekend. They lost 0:1 at Rennes and are now just 3 points behind their chasers Lens.

And yet, for the first time since the World Cup, the Parisians had the complete attacking trio of Kylian Mbappé – Lionel Messi – Neymar at their disposal. The former came on until the second half, but after his arrival PSG conceded and lost.

But Neymar was the biggest target of criticism. The leading French daily L’Equipe took a swipe at him after the Rennes game. This is despite the fact that he has 15 goals and 13 assists this season and is the most productive player in Ligue 1 with 11 goals and 10 assists.

He has not been doing well since his return from the World Cup. In the very first match against Strasbourg he saw two yellow cards in two minutes and thus a red card, especially the second one for simulation was unnecessary. He was absent in the loss to Lens, but he was already on the pitch in the game against Angers, but he didn’t make it into the statistics.

Not even against Rennes. “Just like against Angers a few days ago, the Brazilian went for balls too low and too often tried to make the situation himself with his soloing. As a result, he lost balls in dangerous areas and almost never created any danger in the Rennes’ whitewash,” L’Equipe assessed Neymar.

“A disappointing performance a month before the Champions League eight-final against Bayern, ” the French daily added. All eyes are on this match in Paris, as advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals will be crucial for the club.

“We realise that in terms of expectations and salary, Neymar is the biggest failure in football history?” journalist Daniel Riolo recalls the most expensive transfer in history in 2017, when Neymar arrived from Barcelona for 222 million euros.

“I can’t remember a bigger failure because of how much he cost, it’s terrible. Just because he played well in two LM eighth-finals in 2020 doesn’t mean you’re going to get knocked out,” Riolo said.
