SPORTS Neymar not immune to criticism, says Mbappe

By -

Kylian Mbappe insisted his Paris Saint- Germain team-mate Neymar is “ human like everyone else” after the Brazilian was reduced to tears on Friday by the controversy that has followed him since his arrival from Barcelona .
A tearful Neymar pleaded with the media to stop the “ false stories” about his alleged frosty relations with PSG coach Unai Emery and fellow striker Edinson Cavani following Brazil ’ s 3- 1 international friendly win over Japan in Lille .
The 25- year- old said he was “ hurt” by the issue , before adding that he was “ really happy” in Paris following his world -record 222-million- euro ( $264 million) transfer in August.
Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani have linked up to devastating effect this season, with the trio combining to score 24 goals through PSG ’ s first 12 league matches.
But Mbappe conceded Neymar was just as susceptible to criticism as anyone else.
“ It just simply proves that he’ s human like everyone else . He ’ s like us , he has two arms , two legs, a heart, so he can be affected by the criticism he is subjected to , ” Mbappe told French television channel TF 1 on Sunday .
“ From the outside he gives off a certain image , he doesn ’ t appear to be affected … But when you ’ re on the inside , he opens himself up to you , he shows he ’ s a normal person.
“ He ’ s incredibly strong on the pitch that you think he ’ s just as strong off it , but away from it he remains a normal guy. ”
