Neimar, Neimar, Neimar. Brazilian striker of Barcelona and his departure / failure from the Catalan club - this is the hottest topic in world football in recent days. Yes there is world football and the last days - let's narrow the focus and see what was on Football alone. Ua for July 23. 6 news regarding the transition to PSG - from "persuaded to stay" to "cost PSG in 352 million". And this is not the limit, the news goes on and on.
When they try to justify the departure of Neimar to another team, they often say that the Brazilian wants to play the "first violin" in the team that he wants to get the Golden Ball. But in this case the move to Paris looks like a completely illogical solution.
Before my eyes is the example of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede unreservedly reigned in France, scoring more than 30 goals per season - and this at the age of 30 years! Yes, among the fans there were hearings of "The Golden Ball to Zlatan", but after all they were dictated by the phenomenal charisma of Ibra and the nagging opposition between Cristiano Ronaldo - Lionel Messi. But what's the use of this conversation? Was Zlatan really close to the Golden Ball? No no and one more time no.
Yes, indeed, the Swede was content with only home success with the PSG. Is there any guarantee that Neimaru will win the Champions League with the princes? Oh it's unlikely ... The fight with the same Barcelona showed the absolute inability of Parisians to hold a blow in a difficult situation and it is by no means a fact that this component will improve this season.
Neimar is the player who can decide the outcome of matches alone, there's no arguing. And also - a football player who, at the forward position, earned more cards during his Spanish career period than Real Madrid's "bloodthirsty" defender Pepe, who for a long time was considered the standard of rudeness. Will they not give up the nerves of the Brazilian when the game at PSG will not be glued? Nearby, after all, there will not be the same Messi and Luis Suarez, who are also able to reverse the course of the match. With all due respect, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani are level players slightly lower, although they are stars of the first magnitude. In short, the rate of PSG on Neimar as the Messiah seems to be a very risky step.
There is another aspect, on which this transfer saga is involved: money. According to Sky Sports journalist Cave Solkehola, Neimar is offered about 30 million euros a year in Paris and a contract for 6 years. Marca claims that in Barcelona the Brazilian gets 15 million euros + 10 more in bonuses. The difference, of course, is, but after all, Neimar's revenues are based not only on wages.
A large part of the profit comes from the sale of image rights, and from this point of view the player of Barcelona will be much more attractive to investors than the footballer of the PSG. Is it worth talking about the difference in popularity between the Catalan and the Parisian clubs?.
From this point of view, where would be more attractive for Neimar would be an option with the transition to Manchester United. Here and the fabulous popularity of the championship, which is shown almost all over the world. It's a pity that there is no official data on audience coverage to compare the performance of the Premier League and the League 1, but there is no doubt that sponsors will pay much more for advertizing their products to the world than for advertising to the audience watching League 1. And the internal triumphs on Foggy Albion with Manchester United would have been much more appreciated than the PSG's on-duty wins in France.
And if Neymar wants an incredible popularity that will attract attention to him pohlesche than to Paul Pogba last season - so there is for him one option. You can become the new Luis Figo and go to Real Madrid - there and the personal contract will be offered good, and the status of "Judas" would raise his popularity to the skies. Yes, from a moral point of view, maybe it is not very beautiful, but is someone else still worried about morality in modern football?.
Perhaps the best option for Neimar would be to stay in Barcelona. Segments already in the course of last season it was he, not Leo Messi led the team behind him. The Argentinian, of course, the player is incredible, but he does not grow younger, and therefore we can assume that in this campaign, Neymar will increasingly show up from under his shadow - so it is possible that in a couple of years, when the world finds out the next Gold Ball winner, This will again be the forward of Barcelona. And his name will not be Leo Messi.
