PSG press review: Neves bossing midfield, injury worries linger | OneFootball

This Monday, September 1st, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's impressive rise of João Neves (a 20-year-old midfielder) and PSG's concerns about injuries for this season.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Neves scored a fabulous hat-trick against Toulouse, so he is being highlighted. It's logical, even if his greatest strengths are not in finishing. He is primarily equipped with a huge work rate, with a great game intelligence and more than solid technical skills. But decisive actions are important. He is a complete player, who is only 20 years old, and PSG was right to go for him last summer. Even though there were criticisms at the time.

As for the fear of injuries, it's logical at the start of the international break. There is always this fear when clubs lose control. Perhaps even more so for PSG this time, because its players are not in the same rhythm as many others in recent months. We hope there is dialogue with the national teams and that they will be careful. But there are the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, important deadlines for countries that are not already qualified (like Ecuador, South Korea, or Brazil).
