In Barcelona, it is obviously always a little difficult to digest Neymar's departure from PSG. It starts to date, however. The hope of seeing the Brazilian again at Camp Nou, revived by the soap opera of the 2019 summer transfer window, brought the immense disappointment of his departure to the surface. The former Barça sports director, Jordi Mestre, thus returned at length to the Ney case for Mundo Deportivo . The threshold is immense.
“When Neymar left, he quickly cried of regret and told us that he wanted to come back. I and a few, starting with President Bartomeu, have already made this known, but what we all know has happened. "
To return, Ney should "withdraw the lawsuit against the club, flog himself ..."
As for the question of a potential return of the Parisian player, Mestre is divided. Should we choose sports pragmatism or respect a certain ethics? "From an emotional point of view of how he left, no," he replies. From a sporting point of view, yes. In my opinion, he brings one more that very few players have, it is the individual talent and the treasure of his many goals. This is something that we need in many matches where the opponent refuses the game. Yes, sportingly, we would have to recruit him if, of course, we could afford it. "
But the return of Neymar should not be done without consideration, ends the former Catalan leader, even if it means pushing the plug a little very far. "I also think that if Neymar were to return, he should make an act of contrition, withdraw the lawsuit against the club, flog himself, apologize, assume his error and, of course, lead an almost monastic life. We have all had mistakes in our lives that would not have wanted a second chance. That too, I think, is part of the values. What leniency.
