Emery: Neymar’s Performance On The Pitch All That Matters

Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery insists that speculation surrounding Neymar, should not distract from his exploits on the pitch.

The Brazil international has scored 11 goals in 12 matches for PSG and has been rumoured to have problems with Emery and has also been linked with a move to Madrid.

Emery admits Neymar is still adjusting to life in France and a new squad, but insists he will deliver for PSG on the pitch.

“It’s the same for all players who arrive in a new club, with a new staff, new players,” Emery said.
“It’s a process and everyone in the club has to make this process easier. With Neymar and the other players, we talk.

“It’s better and, for me, what happens on the field is the most important thing. We are happy, the team is better. All that goes on outside is not the most important. What is important is what happens on the pitch.

“He especially wants to be on the pitch. He’s happy when he plays, and I’m the same. We want him to be good with us, to play as he knows how to do, and we all go forward to achieve our goals with him.”
