PSG defender, Dani Alves has begged his teammate, Neymar to control himself more after his clash with a fan at last weekend’s Coupe de France final defeat to Rennes.
Dani and Neymar played as PSG faced another defeat yesterday, losing 3-2 away to Montpellier in Ligue 1, and the ex Barca star said he cannot defend Neymar’s recent behaviour.
His words, “It was a delicate moment,”
“We had just lost a title and he was hot-headed. It was a reaction and one that I think was not right in that moment. You cannot get involved in this sort of thing. You have to show more control.
“I believe that you have to make mistakes to improve. Not necessarily like this, but this mistake will cause him to reflect a bit. Neymar is an exceptional guy, but he can be a bit rash at times.
“This sort of reaction, no matter how friendly we are, I cannot be in favour of it. I believe that he has learned, and I hope that it will not happen again.”
Another defender, Marquinhos also said, “I think that Neymar knows that he made a mistake,”
“When you attack somebody, it is a mistake. He is not a boy anymore — he knows when he is in the wrong.
“It will serve as a lesson for him. We already know that things with Neymar are amplified — he is used to that. Mistakes happen and are there to be learned from.”
