What exactly do we expect from the most expensive football signing ever? Well we already know his quality as he didn’t look out of place at Barcelona playing with Messi and Suarez but now Neymar has his own stage.
At Barcelona, Neymar touched the ball, on average, 73 times per-game. In 2 games for PSG, he averages 121 touches on the ball per-game. The average number of passes distributed by Neymar at Barcelona was 51 but it jumped to 82 now in PSG. Messi was always the first-choice, and at Barcelona, Neymar received the ball from a teammate, on average, 52 times. At PSG, it’s 87. Against Guingamp and Toulouse, Neymar had an average of 6 shots. At Barcelona, he only had 3.2 chances to score per-game.
Given a team that’s playing to his strengths and him being the main man, Neymar will certainly score more goals and be easily rested for Champions League matches. With Monaco being stripped of their best players, PSG will talk the league and cups and will put all their eggs in the Champions League basket.
Neymar MUST perform in the Champions League and if they fail again to reach the final or win the cup, fingers will surely be pointed at the most expensive player in history.
