This season is over for Neymar. The Brazilian suffered a serious injury in the match against Lille, and the PSG player will undergo ligament surgery at the Doha clinic.

Samir Nasri defends Neymar – the Brazilian allegedly went into poker a day after the failure of the tour with Bayern Munich

After the 1/8 final match of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, Neymar was caught playing poker in a Paris restaurant.

At this point, Kylian Mbappe sent an indirect message to his colleague.

“It’s important that every player is well-rested and well-nourished.”

Samir Nasri, a former France international, is one of those who resonates with Neymar’s style, and the former footballer defended him in an interview with Canal +.

“For me Neymar’s accident is a loss. We forget very quickly what he did at the start of the season. Not to mention his lifestyle. He didn’t twist his ankle playing poker or eating McDonald’s, no.”

A few days after Neymar’s participation in the poker tournament, Parisian coach Christophe Galtier also reacted.

“What Kylian said after the game is exactly what he said in the dressing room. I will not relate it to the team’s performance. I’m not going to link Kylian’s statement with the picture of Neymar in the restaurant.

I talked to Ney and told him what I thought. He has the right to play poker on his day off, especially since he is passionate. I told him I was thinking about the photo that appeared. There is no need to confuse anything.” – the coach of the Parisians said then, reports RMC Sport.

Journalist Daniel Riolo said that Neymar was present at a poker tournament, where the entrance fee was 10 thousand euros.

Neymar has repeatedly stated that he is fond of card games.
