Giuly questions Neymar attitude


Former FC Barcelona star, with Ludovic Giuly believes Neymar has enormous potential which he may never fulfil because of attitude problems.
Giuly also compared Neymar to his former Barca teammate, Ronaldinho, whom he said never truly reached his full potential because of question marks over his attitude.
Neymar has played for both Barcelona and PSG, just like fellow Brazilian, Ronaldinho.
“I’m going to compare Ronaldinho and Neymar on a career level. They have everything, but they don’t give everything to be even higher,” Giuly told Telefoot. “Of course that is an important message for us, for his team-mates and for the supporters. [That] he shows his love and commitment to the club, it is something very important.”  
In what has been another stop-start season, Neymar has managed only 20 appearances across all competitions for PSG, starting on 16 occasions, with his overall game time 1,142 minutes.  
He has netted 13 goals, averaging a strike every 111 minutes, while five of those have come from the penalty spot. 
These goals have come from 73 attempts – the second-most in PSG’s team behind Mbappe (114).  Creatively, Neymar also ranks highly. 
He has crafted 44 chances, including four assists, with 35 of them coming from open play.   
This tally puts him second in PSG’s squad, behind Angel Di Maria, who has registered 10 assists from 69 chances created, while Mbappe has teed up an impressive nine goals from 43 opportunities, again indicating that the youngster is perhaps overshadowing the world’s most expensive footballer.
