Paris Saint Germain hitmen Neymar and Edinson Cavani were involved in a spat on the field during their 2-0 win over Lyon.For the second time since Neymar joined PSG, both players argued over who takes penalties.
And it got even hotter as the free-kick responsibility with Dani Alves also involved that time.
Alves grabbed the ball from Cavani to hand it over to Neymar to play the free-kick. And his actions attracted the hars words of Diego Forlan.
The former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan told Sport 890 radio: “Neymar would not have done that to [Lionel] Messi, to have argued.
“There are egos everywhere, but there has to be respect for Cavani.”
“Outside he does not have to be friends with anybody, but then inside the field they are a team and they have to get along.
“”He has been scoring goals for years and taking penalties, there has to be respect.”
“When you arrive in a team you have to show respect. I understand that Neymar is Neymar, but Cavani is Cavani and each one has his place.
“I get angry if I put myself in the place of Cavani, because Alves, at the moment (Cavani) wants to kick the penalty, was concerned to get the ball (for Neymar), as if they were little boys.”
Dani Alves hits back
The right-back said: “I don’t know what game you saw but for your information I didn’t not take it from anyone, in reality I was removed!
“And also for your information, I did the last PSG goal… so close the matter and stop making controversy with my name.”
