Attention, Neymar has put on his costume of "Super Closer of mouths"

• PSG easily won against Montpellier on Saturday at the Parc des Princes, thanks in particular to a boosted Neymar.

• Since the start of the season, the Brazilian has displayed an insolent form and seems in osmosis with his new coach Christophe Galtier.

• Annoyed by the criticisms and the rumors of departure concerning him, the Brazilian seems determined to take his revenge and show that he is far from finished.

At the Parc des Princes,

A bit like Mbappé and his famous “Are you not happy?

Boom, tripled”, Neymar put on his costume of “Superman Closer of mouths” at the start of the season with PSG.

After two more than successful matches against Nantes, during the Champions Trophy in early August, and during the Clermont slap last week, the Brazilian continued his concerto in major performance, Saturday, against Montpellier.

Author of a double and a decisive pass, the Brazilian is currently displaying an insolent form - a bit like the end of last season - and is putting gui-lis back in the stomachs of the supporters, six months after being booed by the Park following the shipwreck at Bernabeu.

Released in the 89th minute by Christophe Galtier, who wanted to give him an ovation, the Ney had to savor this moment in front of an entire stadium standing to greet the artist.

He certainly also had to think back to the words of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who dismantled him in a barely veiled way in the columns of Le

, and who is perhaps the number 1 recipient of Neymar's new "dirty kid" celebration.

A more revengeful Neymar than ever

Annoyed, even upset, by the rumors that the PSG was trying to ship it by Colissimo Express to anyone who would agree to extend the currency, the Parisian number 10 clearly wanted revenge by returning as never before from his vacation in Brazil.

Never as good as when he thinks he has to answer to someone, Neymar had warned his detractors as early as July: "This season, all the shots will come in, free kicks, headers...", he had predicted among Brazilian colleagues.

I feel good, I am confident, I trained a lot during the holidays”.

We had started to take her seriously after her sublime free kick sent against Clermont in the skylight of poor Mory Diaw.

After his new recital against Montpellier, we now believe him at his word.

If he will surely never find the line and the grace he had during his first season in Paris, Neymar is still one of the most beautiful footballers in the world when his ankles leave him alone and he decides to do his bit.

So far, in any case, Christophe Galtier has only had positive things to say about his striker.

Saturday, after the victory against Montpellier, Galette savors: “Since July 4, he has been irreproachable, he behaves well, he arrived ready, I am convinced that he has prepared well ahead of the season.

He performs very well in all games, he seems to be happy in the game, he plays for his partners, he is opportunistic in scoring goals, he works well for the team.

He is a talented player, world class, surely in the top 10 players in the world.

When he is physically well and mentally well, he performs very well.

Neymar, free in his head

Head and feet, it always comes back to that.

For Neymar - more perhaps than for the others - the two never go without each other, indeed.

However, from what he has shown since his return from vacation, the Ney is nothing but love, joy and pleasure.

Throughout the Japanese tour, the guy appeared smiling, open, well in his pumps.

This sequence where he was seen giving the medals to his teammates himself after the victory in the Champions Trophy is a sign that the player is happy at the moment under the orders of Galtier.

This is what Marco Verratti confirmed to us in the mixed zone on Saturday evening: “He is very happy.

And when Ney is happy, he also passes that on to all his teammates, to the public, to everyone.

He is a very, very important player for us.

If we want to be one of the strongest teams in the world, we need Ney to be at his peak and he is right now.

He has done a great preparation, both in training and in matches, he is having a magnificent start to the season and I hope he will continue like this.

And if one last example was needed to prove that the current passes with his new trainer, there is only to have the ardor which he puts in making the defensive efforts at the loss of the ball, which does not has not always been the case, far from it, under the predecessors of the former coach of Nice.

Even Antoine Kombouaré could not believe Tel Aviv.

"So, are you defending now?"

!

“, he had swung at him, laughing.

A behavior that Galtier also appreciates at its fair value: “He works for the team and he has to, because there needs to be balance in the system that we have put in place.

I told him that there was a requirement to have on the defensive level, a requirement to be in recovery from the loss of the ball.

And so far he answers the call, I have nothing to reproach him for, that he continues like this.

“Until the November World Cup which is in his sights, and if no physical glitch comes to mow him down in his tracks, there should be no problem.

For the rest, see you on January 1st.
