No, I just don’t think his actions are as bad as people make out. Football is an emotional sport.
Can I ask you, why have Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol (and others including Rivaldo) all come out in support of Neymar’s return to Barca? Shouldn’t they be even MORE offended by Neymar’s “actions” as you talk about. These guys are Barca through and through, you could not be any more of a Barca fan than those 3 guys yet they are all for bringing him back. I’m not saying they are right or wrong either, just pointing out that they should be offended by Neymar’s actions the most but are not yet some of our foreign fans are.
What are these consequences you talk of?
I m not offended by any means.
His exit was bad. You can interpret his actions in any way you choose, but objectively, ethically, it was bad. It s not about emotions at all. If i m a company owner and my employee wants to go elsewhere, while
trying to pick up a "loyalty bonus", i m not gona try to get him back in 2 years. The guy is obviously not reliable and if i have to pay 150 mil+ in order to get him, the decision is even easier. Plus he is on sick leave when i need him the most.
I mean come on people, it s not hard to see this.
I don t understand why so many doubt a person who says he/she wouldn t try to take that bonus. Especially if you are already a
multi millionaire. But i guess greed does not have any limits, which is why this planet is the way it is.
Regarding consequences, i ll just say, let s wait and see. I would be extremely surprised if Neymar comes back and Barca starts winning CL-s.
