VIDEO: Two great goals and an assist! Neymar saves PSG’s disastrous Japan tour with an incredible performance!
The pre-season training at Paris Saint-Germain has not yet met the expectations of the club’s management and coach Luis Enrique. The only bright spot in an otherwise unsuccessful tour of Japan was the return of star Neymar.
The pre-season training at Paris Saint-Germain has not yet met the expectations of the club’s management and coach Luis Enrique. The only bright spot in an otherwise unsuccessful tour of Japan was the return of star Neymar. He returned to the Parisian club’s jersey after more than five months of rehabilitation from an ankle injury, and it was quite a show.
Neymar returned to the PSG jersey after more than five months
He had been off the football turf for more than five months. An injury from a February match in the French top flight ended his season and he had to undergo surgery. But now he is back and his star shone again in his debut match.
After another botched season in the European Cups, Paris’ star trio in attack is falling apart. Lionel Messi has already left the club, heading overseas to Inter Miami. Kylian Mbappé is sulking again and will either leave the club in the summer or spend the whole season in the stands.
There has also been speculation in the media that Neymar, the final member of the galactic trio, will also leave the club. He too has fallen out of favour with the hard core of the Parisian club’s fans during the season.
However, the Brazilian brushed the speculation off the table and declared himself intent on keeping his contract in Paris, which expires in June 2025. He took the first opportunity to appease the fans perfectly, securing the only win of the summer tour of Japan.
But he saved the Japanese tour with two beautiful goals and an assist
In the match against South Korea’s Jeonbuk, it was as if he hadn’t even had a break from football for several months. In the first half, he completely toyed with the opponent’s defence and opened the scoring with a point-blank shot.
In the last ten minutes of the second act, he then secured two more goals. Firstly, he made no mistake after a run from the middle of the field in the face of the South Korean goalkeeper. Then, two minutes before the end of regulation time, he assisted a beautiful goal by Marco Asensio.
He contributed to his team’s three-goal victory with a great performance. The fans may have to take Neymar’s word for it after all. When he’s not on the sidelines, he can still deliver a difference-making performance that could come in handy for the team at the start of the new season.
