ISLAMABAD – March 7 (ONLINE) The Belgium assistant coach is concerned about the Brazilian’s state of mind, with his latest poor showing coming in a 1-0 defeat at Nice.
Thierry Henry has admitted that he is worried about Neymar’s mental health as the Paris Saint-Germain star continues to underwhelm with his performances in 2021-22.
Neymar is enduring arguably his worst season yet in a PSG shirt, with only four goals and four assists to his name from 18 appearances in all competitions.
The Brazilian has missed another 18 matches due to familiar injury problems, and former France international Henry is concerned about his psychological state.
“When you analyse an action and he doesn’t position himself properly, okay, that’s a fact and you have to recognise that. Yes, he hasn’t been as good, but there are reasons,” Henry told L’Equipe.
“Neymar has often talked in his recent interviews about his well-being, about the pressure, so my first thought is: ‘Is he alright?’. It’s not about him not doing nutmegs, sombreros, or about the fact that he doesn’t beat people with his pace anymore.
“He talks, but can you hear him? He’s asking for help – there are things going on in his head, like any human being.”
