The audience at the National Stadium in Tokyo during PSG-Inter (1-2), better filled than that of Osaka for the two previous matches, would have liked to see Neymar on Tuesday.
Entering the final quarter of an hour, the Olympic enclosure chanted its name, resulting in “Ney-ma-ru!” in Japanese, but nothing to do. The Brazilian, operated on his fragile right ankle in early March, has not played since February 19 and his injury against Lille.
Glimpsed by French journalists at the exit of the stadium, “Ney” just replied that he felt “good”. But don’t “know” when he will play again.

Each of his appearances on the big screens sent shivers down the aisle, but the staff didn’t want to take any risks. The Brazilian had yet trained with the group the day before, in front of 2,000 enamored spectators. The champions of France play again in two days, in South Korea, in Busan against Jeonbuk Motors, it is the last chance for the Asian supporters of PSG to see the last megastar of the club.
Last year, Japanese fans were able to admire Lionel Messi, but he left for Miami, and Mbappé, but he is punished. PSG must rebuild without these two, and the work is colossal.
