Jérôme Rothen, a former Paris Saint-Germain player, questioned the star for traveling to Brazil.
Neymar’s revelries have always provoked criticism from people linked to football. Jérôme Rothen, a former Paris Saint-Germain player, questioned the star for traveling to Brazil for the Christmas and New Year holidays in the middle of his recovery process from the ligament injury in his left ankle, suffered at the end of November.
According to the Parisian club’s medical report, ney he continues his rehabilitation in South America and should return to activities with the entire PSG cast in three weeks.
“How to accept this from a player who has not been in 50% of the games since the start of the season and who has, compared to other years, a low ratio of goals and assists? It is less efficient. You get old, you gain weight without stopping, you do not have a proper lifestyle. When you are over 30, recovery is not like when you are 25. When you do foolish things, you put everything at risk, ”Rothen told RMC Sport, from France.
Since 2021 he has been dragging muscular problems. The Brazilian missed almost half of PSG’s games in the year: he played in 33 games of the 61 played in the year.
Rothen’s darts also went to Leonardo for letting Neymar leave France during the recovery process.
“This is unacceptable on the part of the club and I again blame the sporting director. He (Rothen) is the one who gives Neymar authorization to appear only on January 9 and undergo treatment in Brazil. Where we are? This is incredible. He is the sports director of one of the biggest clubs in Europe and he wants to win the Champions League. This does not happen in other championships, “he said.
“One of the top footballers never undergoes treatment in another country. This is not normal, because it is the image of PSG who suffers. Through Neymar’s nonsense on social networks, where he appears playing poker at parties. Now he is going to make videos lifting weights to say that he is preparing to return in February, “he added.
PSG is the solo leader in Ligue 1, with 46 points in 19 rounds. He will return to competition next Sunday, when he faces Lyon. (D)
