Is Neymar burnt out? Legend is worried

This season, Neymar is clearly overshadowed by teammate Kylian Mbappe, who provides the sporting accents at Paris Saint-Germain. But the Brazilian hasn’t been able to match the glory of the old days for a long time. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry attributes this to the player’s mental health.

“If you analyze his actions and he moves badly, that’s a fact that you have to see,” the Arsenal legend analyzed in an interview with L’Equipe.

However, the sporting descent goes hand in hand with Neymar’s ailing psyche. “Neymar has talked a lot about his health and the pressure in his recent interviews, so my first thought is ‘is he alright?’.”

Thierry Henry believes he can hear something in the attacker’s statements that nobody else notices: “He talks in interviews, but does anyone understand what he’s saying? It’s a cry for help. Things are going on in his head like everyone else’s people too.”

Neymar has only had four goals and just as many assists in his 18 season appearances so far. For comparison: The much-criticized Leo Messi, who only moved to Paris in the summer, not only has more games this season (24). The Argentine has also been involved in 18 goals for his team.

Will Neymar flee to the US anytime soon?

Neymar just turned 30 last February. Nevertheless, he assumes that the upcoming World Cup in Qatar will be his last. “I no longer have the mental strength to continue in football,” he admitted to streaming provider DAZN.

The PSG player would prefer to spend the autumn of his career in the MLS because the season in the USA only lasts nine months. So he would have plenty of time for extended periods of rest and for the further development of his business ideas.
