It seems you simply cannot stop your saga of hatred and showing off your absolute blindness when it comes to judging players by their ACTUAL footballing skills. All right...
You see, I'm retired, have a lot of time, no games to watch, it's off-season, so I promise I will answer EACH and EVERY brainless fart by you!
I hope you will enjoy that, at least as much as your repetitive eructations make me laugh and angry at the same time...
Not my actual task to defend other users, but it seems the reading problems do not avoid you either. It's not the fact that you are wrong at least 85% of times, with highly questionable opinions and twisted-statistics, but you simply won't read between the lines, which usually make you think that apart from a very few guys here, there's anyone who will be persuaded by your biased and emotionally driven essays.
Mistake No.1 on your side.
You should rather observe the actual qualities of different players. "Body language" tells nothing, worth nothing.
Look at the "body language" of C.Ronaldo and you will see that absolutely apart from his actual footballing skills, his off ball movements just represent self-assurance, egoism, arrogance, cockiness, complacency, conceitedness, etc.
He is a very good player, but his "body language" is rather marketing than footballing skills.
Because your twisted and imaginary definitions of "personality" and "IQ" do NOT exist on a football field.
Once again not my task to judge, but YOUR opinion is definitely low-class. I wish I was wrong, in that case it would be possible to discuss certain intricacies of the game, but it is, alas, impossible with you.
1. Neymar is the technically highest and most skillful player on the planet at present. If you can't see that - your problem but no need to argue that.
2. A clown is an artist in a circus. If Neymar is an actual clown in your eyes, you should consider yourself being the clown of this forum.
3. If you still have the fake idea that a footballer can only be judged by his ACTUAL PERFORMANCES in a series, in a tournament, then you once again have no clue about this game.
So learn it: the best players are NOT ALWAYS the most EFFECTIVE players in a single game, in a league or tournament. Sometimes (like Messi with his home NT) the best players are NOT the most effective, but it doesn't mean they wouldn't be the best.
QUALITY and EFFECTIVENESS are TWO DIFFERENT FACTORS. You should learn that and remember that.
Wrong example, although everyone thinks the same.
He was EFFECTIVE in that game, very determined but he had much much better games than that one.
During his worst games he has one or two moments that make the entire game worth to watch. That's why MILLIONS started watching PSG games worldwide after Neymar has left.
People who understand and are able to enjoy the game, love and appreciate those moments, even if they are not fans of neither of the clubs playing.
That is a connoisseur and not the one - like you - who enjoys mediocre players, mediocre managers, boringly defensive tactics, just because the result might be favorable.
Football in its nicest form is an ART and hence you should start learning how to separate the easily forgettable and grey workers from the true ARTISTS.
And Barca won two Ligas after Neymar has left, just because the other competitive teams were even worse.
Even your beloved statistics will tell you the Barca-decline under Valverde. These two Liga wins were almost worthless because of the lack of competition.
Brazil has won the worst Copa in its history, where football was almost unwatchable and anything but enjoyable.
It doesn't matter if Neymar was there or not.
If Neymar is "almost a non factor" for you - and you really believe what you are confidently saying - then I just have to repeat that you have no knowledge whatsoever about this game, regardless how many words you are able to type in a minute.
He is a factor, believe me, just as Dembele could have been, had the poor guy chosen a different club with an actually helpful and knowledgeable coach.
