Dugarry, world champion for France, believes that the team can win without the Brazilian in the eleven.
The Brazilian international Neymar will be “operated in the next few days” on his right ankle, so he should not play again this season for PSG. The French club estimates a stoppage of “three to four months” until the Canadian is able to compete again, after the injury suffered on February 19 in the French championship game against Lille.
An unlucky moment for the striker, but one that Dugarry, world champion with France in 1998, sees as a “lucky break” for the team. “I’m happy for PSG that Neymar was injured. I think it’s an incredible stroke of luck for Galtier. [treinador]. This team is much more balanced with five men in defense, three midfielders and Mbappé and Messi. They are not capable of controlling games, because when they lose the ball, the three strikers do not defend”, declared the former striker to RMC Sport.
“I can’t stand to watch his football anymore. I can’t. It’s a pain to see him feint, to see his behavior. I don’t want to see him on the field again”, shot, harshly, Dugarry, who passed through Bordeaux, Milan , Barcelona and Marseille, among other clubs.
According to the Parisians’ medical team, Neymar, who will undergo surgery in Doha, “has had several episodes of instability in his right ankle in recent years”. Faced with this evidence, the clinical managers “recommended a ligament repair operation in order to avoid an injury with a high risk of recurrence”.
Given this scenario, the 31-year-old striker, a colleague of Danilo Pereira, Vitinha, Renato Sanches and Nuno Mendes, should only return to competition in the 2023/24 season.
