One of the images of Sunday in the victory of PSG against Montpellier occurred on the bench. Mbappé, substituted in the 88th minute, complained about Neymar after the Brazilian assisting Draxler in the 2-0 of the Parisians. The Bondy one told his partner Idrissa Gueye that Neymar didn't give him that kind of pass when he was on the pitch, a phrase that the French press has not been slow to interpret.
According L'Équipe, Mbappé has moved away little by little from Neymar. In 2017, the two formed an inseparable pair that has lasted until today. That friendship, which had problems on the field, such as Cavani's estrangement in 2018, had emerged as one of the most prolific in European football. However, this season the two stars have not assisted or scored a goal in which both are involved, a revealing statistic that they are not finding themselves as in other years on the field of play.
The distancing of Mbappé tIt also has to do with the “Hispanicization” of the PSG dressing room. The arrival of Messi has increased the number of Spanish-speaking players and there Mbappé, who also speaks Spanish, has not finished integrating. According L'Équipe, There are members of the dressing room who do not understand that Mbappé does not join some evenings of the squad off the pitch.
Neymar, a close friend of Mbappé, was very excited to play this season with the French international and Messi. However, the ambitions of the former Monaco player, always with the objective of increasing his scoring records, has not finished fitting into the idea of Neymar, who wants the three to understand each other in the best possible way on the field, as underlines L'Équipe. A rather complex episode that occurs just one day after PSG play against City.
