A few weeks ago, Paris Saint-Germain had to deal with the controversy surrounding the fallout between Neymar and Edinson Cavani, and now it seems that the Brazilian is at odds with his coach, Unai Emery.
After a light training session in the wake of their Champions League game, Neymar wanted to continue, with particular emphasis on specific ball work with some reserve team players. It was a request that Emery flatly refused, Marca reported.
According to L’Equipe, the player angrily kicked a ball against the wall in front of Emery and his teammates before heading into the dressing room area.
In France, speculation is rife that the rift resulting from the misunderstanding has completely disrupted PSG’s preparations for the game against Marseille.
The $263-million contract with PSG made Neymar the most expensive football player in the world. He was transferred from Barcelona in the summer.
