by

Tips left by Robert Pires for his statements Neymar about “hell” in Paris Saint Germainin a program of the French Canal+.

In particular, the former French international called both the Brazilian star and the Messi for the complaints they expressed publicly, regarding their stay at the French champions:Being a professional footballer means you can handle the pressure. Sometimes when you play well, you’re happy to be praised. But when you don’t, that’s part of the game too».

THE Pires competed in Arsenal from 2000 until 2006, a move that, as he comments, was not well received: “We all get criticized. When I went to Arsenal I had to replace Marc Offermars and they told me I had no hope. I kept my mouth shut, kept working and it finally paid off“, added the 49-year-old former striker.

It is recalled that the Neymar moved to Paris from Barcelona in 2017 breaking the transfer funds with the amount of 222 million euros, while he left for the Al Hilal a short time ago. On the other hand, Lionel Messi he stayed in the French capital only for the two years 2021-’23 and declared, equally, that he did not want to compete in Paris Saint Germain and leave Barcelona.
