Neymar criticised for off-pitch habits

Neymar was expected to return from injury for Paris Saint-Germain's second leg against Barcelona in the Champions League, but he didn't even make the squad.

The Brazilian had tried his best to be back in time for the match, however he failed to recover in time.

This has led to French newspaper L'Equipe criticising Neymar's off-pitch lifestyle - namely his marathon gaming and TV sessions.

PR agent Sebastien Bellencontre was critical of the forward after he tweeted at 3.53 in the morning commenting on the Brazilian version of 'Big Brother'.

"He's a player who cost an awful lot of money and is injured at key moments of the season, like the Champions League," said Bellencontre.

"In this context, tweeting at this time seems like a big error of judgement."

Neymar is also a keen gamer and was reported to have been playing Counter Strike until the early hours after his injury against Caen.

PSG have come out and defended their star player, though.

"There have been comments about his lifestyle but, honestly, Neymar's commitment recently cannot be faulted. He's completely concentrated," said the club.
