“It’s like with my girlfriend” – Neymar makes interesting claim on tensions with PSG chief Luis Campos during Monaco loss
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Neymar Jr. opened up on the discussions he had with sporting director Luis Campos during the 3-1 Ligue 1 loss to AS Monaco on Saturday (February 11).
Campos was reportedly livid with the players at half-time and held a discussion with them. Neymar has now provided a sneak peek of the discussion, without divulging much details, making an interesting claim in the process. The Brazilian superstar said (via RMC Sports):
"It happened, a little discussion, we didn't agree. It happens to us every day, but I love them all, it's like with my girlfriend. Football is not just about love, not just friendship. There is respect, but it happens to have discussions. We are not used to losing; when there are defeats, of course that disturbs us. It makes part of the process to improve."
He added:
“For the locker room, it's sometimes lies what comes out in the press, and it goes around the world. It happened that rumours came out at key moments of the season. We have to find out what's going on;tit's not normal for stories to come out in the press;tit has to stay between us."
