Marquinhos impressed with João Neves: “Despite all the pressure…”

PSG captain praised the former Benfica player for his quick adaptation to the Parisians and his level of display

João Neves left Benfica for PSG , last summer, for 60 million euros and quickly became an important figure in the team, contributing quite directly even through the amount of assists.

In addition to another young midfielder, Marquinhos , captain of the Parisians, admitted that he was quite surprised by the level at which the Portuguese international arrived in Paris and how quickly he adapted to this, his first adventure abroad.

“Among those who impress me is, of course, Warren Zaire-Emery , who arrived in the first team at just 16 years old, but already looked like an established player on the pitch. The same can be said of João Neves , who only arrived this summer from Benfica , but who is already focused on his goals at PSG , despite all the pressure that exists”, he began by saying, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport , before also praise the formation of the French champion.

«The young people who reach the first team today are much more mature than in the early days. They already have the correct mentality, prepare themselves before each session and stay to complete the work after training, taking advantage of the technical means at their disposal. This means that a very good training job is being done. We have a very demanding coach, which means that, if they play, they deserve their place in the team», he explained.
