Messi and Mbappe clash, Neymar is sad, dressing room in chaos
Recently, Barry has returned to the team one by one to prepare for the new season. However, when new coach Gage took over, the team made a discordant sound. According to the latest news from “World Sports News”, Messi and Mbappe had differences on whether Neymar should be cleared, and the two broke out on the spot. After Mbappe was elected “Chairman Mu”, he has been criticizing the team’s lineup. Neymar is the teammate he most wants to get rid of, and the Brazilian star is Messi’s younger brother. The two have a very close relationship. Of course, the Argentine star didn’t want to see Neymar cleaned out.
The fact that Neymar’s form has been declining year by year can clearly be seen by anyone.
In the second half of last season, Neymar broke out a series of negative scandals, which greatly reduced the performance of the stadium and caused great dissatisfaction among the Paris executives. At the time, it was reported that Neymar had been included in PSG’s clean-up list and that his most likely next home was Premier League upstart Newcastle United. However, Neymar’s whereabouts have yet to be made clear heading into the summer window. He doesn’t seem to worry about it and is still on vacation around the world.
But what is certain is that after the renewal, Mbappe has a strong voice, and he can participate in the decision-making of PSG’s team affairs. In terms of retaining talent, Mbappe also has his own ideas. He believes that Neymar’s professional attitude and competitive performance can no longer help the team, so it is better to leave.
Mbappe is understandable. Because he chose to stay in Paris, it meant being the absolute core of the team and the big brother in the dressing room. Messi is getting old and may leave when his contract expires next year. Mbappe still respects him.
In addition, Messi is low-key and introverted. After joining Paris, he did not compete with Mbappe for the spotlight, and their cooperation was also tacit. Neymar’s situation is completely different. His contract is relatively long. Since joining Barry, he has seen himself at the core. The pair clashed more than once when Mbappe first arrived, and for the past two years they have neither liked each other.
If Mbappe really wants to be the leader of the team, he has to get Neymar out first. However, Neymar and Messi have a long-standing relationship. When Di Maria leaves, Messi, who is already a bit of a stranger to Paris, will feel even more alone and it is reasonable to oppose cleaning up Neymar.
Overall, the clash between Messi and Mbappe should not be as severe as expected. Any player has teammates he likes and dislikes. There are some mood swings when he sees them being cleaned. There is no need for the outside world to over-interpret them. But one thing is for sure. The great Paris has given Mbappe the supreme power to overwhelm the coach, which is equivalent to burying the hidden dangers of chaos in the dressing room.
Currently, Paredes, Icardi and other players are on the clean-up list, most of them South American players. Mbappe just said that the European team is better than the South American team. It can be seen that his wish should be to clean up the South American players in the team as much as possible and establish a “European Paris team”. As the trend develops, it is only a matter of time before PSG’s dressing room splits. Winning the Champions League and retaining the league title in the new season is difficult. Barry’s contract extension with Mbappe is a big gamble. They either achieved each other’s success and wrote legends, or they both became the laughing stock of football. It now appears that the latter is more likely.
