France questions Neymar

In the process of healing from his umpteenth muscle injury, Brazilian Neymar's lifestyle is once again questioned in France, this time due to the supposed lack of sleep that two of his hobbies produce: the reality show and video games.

The newspaper “L'Equipe” wonders if his hygiene of life is the most convenient when the star of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) he watches Brazil's Big Brother until the wee hours of the morning or when he plays “Counter-Strike”, a popular shooter video game in which a team of terrorists face off against another team of counter-terrorists.

“Is it bad to watch reality TV or be with a video game until 3 in the morning? Of course not, but the matter is less bland for someone's image when nighttime activities are repeated and your name is Neymar “, the newspaper is questioned.

The 29-year-old Brazilian missed the Champions League round of 16 against Barcelona last Wednesday due to a new injury that occurred on February 10.

With 15 physical problems recorded in the last three seasons, which prevented him from playing another two crucial Champions League qualifiers in the past (Real Madrid, in 2018, and Manchester United, in 2019), the footballer's lifestyle has become still more questioned.

In February, “Le Parisien” called physiologist Jean-Bernard Fabre to find out the relationship between the player's way of life and his repeated injuries.

“When it happens to you once, you may think it's bad luck, but it happens every year,” he said at the time. Fabre.

The forward has also been criticized on PSG fan forums for having posted a tweet on February 24 at 3:53 a.m. in which he said he was going to sleep, after having seen Big Brother Brazil (in his native country the time difference with France is -4).

A few days before eliminating Barcelona in the round of 16, the PSG star posted a message on Instagram to complain about the media treatment.

“The other day I hung up my exercise program from the moment I got up until I went to bed and I didn't see anyone say: 'look how professional he is and takes care of himself'. You only publish what you sell. “

Despite all the controversy that accumulates, including that of an accusation of rape in 2019 dismissed by Justice, the world's most expensive player is close to renewing his link with PSG, which ends in June 2022.
