From hatred to forgiveness? Author of two decisive goals - a return of anthology in extra time against Strasbourg and an individual feat in Lyon Sunday - Neymar found the Parc des Princes on Wednesday (21h00) against Reims, in the shoes of the unexpected savior.

Ten days after his reunion very muscular with PSG supporters, "Ney" will he continue to play "outside", in his own words, in the Parisian walls?

Between abusive banners and repeated insults, the ultras had made ten days live a "hell" to their Brazilian superstar, guilty this summer of desires to start thinly veiled at FC Barcelona, ​​for his return to the Park.

One way to punish his attempts to "betray" in favor of the club that had inflicted, with the "remontada" 2017, the worst humiliation of the history of the club of the capital.

But in the meantime, the "crack" has displayed such magic on the ground that a turnaround seems already possible.

In just two games, one who had not worn the Parisian jersey since May, between suspension, injury and sidelining the group, illuminated the Ligue 1 with two key benefits: after having offered a success in Extremely against Strasbourg (1-0), "Ney" has still unlocked the situation in Lyon (1-0) on a personal achievement of great beauty.

- Compliments -

What to receive the compliments of his teammates "delighted", like the rookie Ander Herrera, to play with the most expensive player in history, so close to go this summer.

"He's a fantastic player, he can be a Golden Ball next year, the next year or the next, and I hope he can play like this all season," said the Spanish midfielder. after the victory in Lyon.

In the corridors of the Lyon area, Thomas Meunier was even more appreciative: "Neymar is the talent that speaks, we do not go for lunch at 14 hours: 220 million euros for a half-player It would have been a scam, and there is a player and a half! For me, it's perfect. "

"I watch him in training every day ... He is a player, when he takes the ball, you take a break and you watch him do it, here in a match, it's a bit the same thing" added the Belgian side, admiring.

And the worst is that he is not yet at the maximum of his possibilities according to his coach Thomas Tuchel.

"Neymar can do better, it's the second or third game in four months for him, he does not have his 100% capacity, it's not his limit," he said. He's going to do better, he's going to get his best level, with the matches and decisive goals like that, it's going to help him. "

- Reconciliation operation on the networks -

To ensure the after-sales service of its breathtaking sports, the Brazilian superstar has continued to convey on social networks the image of such a happy player off the field, to accelerate its reconciliation operation.

Present in the stands against Real Madrid (3-0) because of his suspension, he has for example published a photo of him all smiles with his accomplice Kylian Mbappé, the darling of the French public, accompanied by the hashtag (keyword) # go Paris.

Left to overplay the love regained "Ney" with the club of the capital, his team of communicators also multiplied the montages mixing the Brazilian N.10 and iconic figures of the club: one day with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, legend Paris, a other with the Parisian logo.

As if the respect of the PSG institution, one of the deficiencies that has been repeatedly criticized, was now dear to him. His slight delay in training on Tuesday, for example, was warned upstream.

This delay was in fact due to a hearing scheduled long before the DRPJ of Paris, following the slap given to a Rennes supporter at the end of the Coupe de France final lost against Rennes on 27 April.

"+ Ney + had a personal thing, he had my (agreement) and that of the club.It was clear," had previously said his coach at a press conference.

Enough to get forgiveness from Parisian fans? "The whistles for me is not the solution.Neutrality would do much more damage," said Thomas Meunier on Tuesday. "He's convinced himself that he can play a role in the club, and after their reaction, they'll have the choice to do what they want."
