Joining Paris from Barca for 220 million world number one, Neymar showed firm courage and confidence to the outside world, but failed to consolidate his strength as the third person in the world, not only his dream of the Ballon d'Or is getting farther and farther away from him, but even the core position of the team is facing threats from Mbappe. What has happened to the gifted Inner Shao in the past few years?
2017.3.9, Camp Nou.
Roberto, pad shot, ball in! 6：1！ Barca's players have created an incredible reversal. Messi was surrounded by spectators in the Camp Nou stand, and he was celebrating the victory. However, the biggest contributor of the game, Neymar, who scored three goals alone, was not treated this way. It seemed that it was at that moment that the idea of leaving the team quietly arose in his mind.
Although his cooperation with Messi Suya in forming the MSN group on the field has been perfected, in the face of high salaries and the temptation of the No. 10 jersey, at the age of 25, determined to become the world's first man, he resolutely chose to leave Camp Nou.
2017.8, Parc des Princes.
Dressed in a Paris shirt, Neymar happily tossed the ball, and with him joined the golden boy Mbappe, the striker Cavani, and his big brother Silva in the national team. Paris's paper power has been rapidly enhanced in this summer window, and the Ligue 1 hegemon has also shown European football that it is bound to seek a breakthrough in the Champions League.
Neymar joins Grand Paris
However, Paris in the 17-18 season met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, and Neymar had to miss the key battle due to injury. In the end, Paris was eliminated by an aggregate score of 2:5, and then in the 2018 World Cup, the Samba Army led by Neymar could not withstand the strong attack of the European Red Devils Belgium, and finally stopped in the quarterfinals 1:2.
Although the results of the first year were not ideal, the perennial reinforcement of the big Paris is still a presence in the European arena that cannot be ignored. The cooperation between Neymar and Mbappe has gradually become tacit, and most fans are optimistic about the prospects of Paris in the Champions League.
2019.3.7, Parc des Princes.
Marcus Rashford, run, hit the goal, the ball goes in! 3：1！ Manchester United have turned against the Greater Paris! With Pogba suspended and two goals behind, the Red Devils blew up a storm of youth on the road and successfully eliminated Paris.
Coincidentally, Neymar once again watched from the sidelines due to injury problems, watching the team suffer setbacks and adversities, but there was nothing he could do.
Paris unfortunately became the backdrop for the Red Devils to create miracles
That same year, Neymar faced criminal charges and missed a good opportunity to win the Copa America with his team due to injury. At this time, there were controversial remarks about him, and there was even media rumors that he was likely to return to Barca or transfer to Real Madrid, but in the end it did not happen. Eventually, Neymar renewed his contract with Paris until 2025.
2020.8, Porto Dragons Stadium.
With a whistle from the referee, Bayern won the Champions League this season, successfully beating Paris in the treble battle. This is currently the closest Neymar is to the Ballon d'Or. Although Neymar later in Paris ensured attendance, the individual's competitive status and data level were no longer as brave as they were.
The 20-year final was unfortunately defeated
He could have continued to kill around Messi, but he resolutely chose to leave in the golden age of his career, which required enough courage and he also deserved the admiration of the fans; But sometimes it's the frequent injuries that keep him getting farther and farther away from his dreams, or maybe Paris isn't a place where he can really realize his dreams. Although he has received a huge salary and a lot of honors, as a fan, when he recalls the teenager who has already made his debut in Santos, he can't help but sigh.
Injury may really be a poison for Neymar.
