One of the latest details about Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was a fight in the dressing room in the last Ligue 1 match between Neymar Jr. and sporting director Luis Campos. On Monday, at a press conference before the UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich, the Brazilian confirmed the existence of the conflict.
Accompanied by his coach Christophe Galtier, Neymar admitted that he and teammate Marquinhos fell out with Luis Campos after the loss to Monaco, thereby confirming the information reported by L’Équipe.
However, the South American star downplayed the issue and compared it to a boyfriend. “There was a small discussion, we did not agree. We argued, but it always happens. I also argue with my girlfriend and we continue together. Not everyone loves football, sometimes they discuss it in order to improve it.”
“It’s true that we didn’t have a good time and PSG are not used to winning. Discussions are part of football and it helped us to know what each of them thinks. I’ve been here for six years now, and there are always rumors, sometimes malicious ones. I don’t know what to say, I’m not responsible for this. I am an athlete and these things can affect, but we cannot treat everything that comes out, ”he added.
The attacker was also alarmed by this type of information being leaked, as he believes they should remain in the privacy of the locker room. “It’s a little sad because this should stay between us, it shouldn’t come out because it’s day after day and we have to go together. When it comes out, you worry us, but it’s hard to see how it comes out. Sometimes they are true and sometimes they are not.
In the last game against Monaco, Campos accused Neymar of lack of attitude and aggressiveness. This would have upset the Brazilian, and together with Marquinhos they would have entered into a heated discussion in Portuguese.
They will face each other on Tuesday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Bayern Munich as locals in the Parc de los Principes and with the doubts of Messi and Mbappe going through physical problems.
