If Neymar can now compete in the World Cup with Brazil at 100% of his means, it is because he escaped the snags of the PSG team during the first part of the season. Not for lack of having faced opponents who tried to tickle him, as illustrated by the Team of the Day with a shock treatment that the Brazilian really didn’t appreciate.
Atal squeezed Neymar too tight for his liking
In fact, the newspaper returns to the match played by PSG against Nice on 1 October where Youcef Atal, in addition to inflicting a small bridge on Neymar, had not spared him from marking by regularly tickling his ankles and calves. Which prompted Neymar to reframe things.
During the interval, Neymar allegedly took Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka aside, a former teammate at Paris, to let him slip this little phrase with a smile. “Hey Marcin! Would you ask Atal if he knows how much those legs cost,” reveals the newspaper.
