PSG: Neymar displays a huge wish for next summer!
Author of an XXL performance on Sunday evening with PSG against AS Monaco, Neymar then posted a big wish for summer 2020 with the Brazilian selection.
After being at the heart of the big soap opera of the 2019 summer transfer window since he wanted to leave PSG to return to FC Barcelona, Neymar could be talked about differently next summer.

PSG: Neymar would have made a big promise to Tuchel!
After having chained the collective collective performances when the four attackers were aligned, the PSG unrolls and impresses. It must be said that Neymar would have made a promise to Thomas Tuchel.
After a start to the season marked by injuries, Thomas Tuchel regained his entire offensive sector at the end of the year. The PSG coach therefore found himself facing a puzzle to compose his attack. If Edinson Cavani was quickly identified as a replacement, a choice had to be made between Angel Di Maria, Mauro Icardi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in the event that the 4-3-3 was kept. Finally, Thomas Tuchel attempted a 4-4-2 looking like 4-2-4 by lining up his star quartet. A tactical scheme that had trouble giving satisfaction.
Neymar promised to make defensive efforts
Whether against Real Madrid (2-2), Nantes (2-0) or Montpellier (3-1), the imbalance was obvious and the collective rendering close to nothing. However, PSG was impressive the following days against Galatasaray (5-0), ASSE (5-0) and then Amiens (4-1). And at the start of 2020, the Parisians are not losing pace as evidenced by the 12 goals in two games. And for good reason, according to information from The Team, Thomas Tuchel had a frank discussion with his players last December 11 during an improvised meeting. In essence, the players ask their coach to evolve in an offensive scheme, an idea he likes, but on one condition, that the attackers make the defensive efforts by helping the midfielders, condition sine qua non in order to guarantee the balance of this 4-4-2. And Neymar would then have made a promise: "Ok, we will make the effort. Promise kept until then since the PSG connects the good performances. It remains to be seen whether this will always be the case in the Champions League.
