World record breaking footballer Neymar can develop and ‘become the best player in the world’ at Paris Saint-Germain, according to his manager Unai Emery. The talented Brazilian who has settled into life at his new club quickly following his world record £200million move from Barcelona earlier this month, scored one and set up another for team-mate Edinson Cavani in his PSG debut last weekend – a 3-0 away win over Guingamp.
And manager Emery believes Neymar will go from strength to strength in Paris, and win the Ballon d’Or while helping PSG ascend to greatness. ‘Neymar is a great player, one of the best in the world. However, he is normal with the others in the dressing room and when he works. All of the other players are great and they are happy that a player like Neymar is at PSG. That is something we all wanted. We want to develop along with Neymar and to help him to become the best player in the world,’ he added.
He continues saying ‘Neymar adds something extra. He gives us pace, he links up well, his final pass and an ability to play at speed. He also gives us greater qualities, individual and collective, in attack and the creation of opportunities. In his first match [the 3-0 win at Guingamp] Neymar responded by giving us what we wanted from him. Tactically, he is capable of doing a lot of things in attack but also in defence over 90 minutes. He is capable of everything and is in beautiful physical condition.’
