Luis Enrique landed in the Park of the Princes the past summer with the intention to do of Paris Saint-Germain one of the best teams of Europe. The Parisians carry years having stars 'top', as Kylian Mbappé, Leo Messi, Marco Verratti or Neymar Jr, but still like this have not been able to win still the Champions League. In fact, in spite of being the club that more has invested in the market in the last decade, the alone French have been able to arrive to a final of the League of Champions, that lost against the Bayern in 2020, and seems that they will go on down the less until 2025 without arriving to another, seeing how was the gone of chambers against the Barça.

The Asturian trainer, that with the FC Barcelona won the triplete in 2015 and that with the Spanish selection arrived to the semifinals of the Eurocopa in 2020, falling with Italy in penaltis, arrived to the PSG precisely to build a group compensated that it can compete and win to any one. For this, the exazulgrana arrived with a very clear-cut plan that did not have Neymar, to the that the own club Frenchman also wanted to went because of his high agreement.

Luis Enrique did not have objections with the Brazilian and from the first moment seems that it left him clear that had to go of Paris Saint-Germain. In 'L'Équipe' and 'France Football' ensure that the míster communicated him that not even it would carry him to turns it of summer by Japan, since it did not go to play whatever happens and the best for him was to leave. A very taut conversation that derived in problems between both, since to the star of Brazil did not seat him at all well this posture so inflexible.

Luis Enrique yielded in spite of his férrea posture with Neymar

At the end, Luis Fields, adviser of football of the French picture, convinced to the Asturian so that it carried to Ney to the Japanese country, since have him left in France subtracted him value of face to the market and his exit would complicate even more. At the end, the attacker accepted a mareante offer of the To the-Hilal, that offered him 100 million wage and other 150 more by advertising questions. To the PSG, that celebrated a lot the traspaso, the Arabs paid him 90 fixed millions and 40 in variables by parties played and goals, that surely have not paid by the early injury of the 'crack', that grieve could contest 5 meetings before breaking the crusader in October of the past year.

Although the Neymar of his last stage in Paris was a shadow of his best version, does not leave to be surprising that Luis Enrique, that knew him during years in Barcelona, was so hard with him from his arrival and did not look for to fix the situation of another way. The Brazilian, beside Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, forming the mythical 'MSN', was key in the stage of 'Struggle' in the Camp Nou and some thought that it would try to recover him for the cause in Paris. At the end, this was far of suceder and the relation between both did not finish at all well.
