<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel, has said Neymar is not of the \u201cprofile\u201d to captain the side, after the Brazil superstar scored one and assisted another in their 2-1 win away at Angers in Ligue 1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Neymar, playing in his final PSG match of the season before his three-game suspension for an altercation with a spectator during the Coupe de France final kicks in, opened the scoring with a diving header and teed up Angel Di Maria for another headed effort.<\/p>\n

After the game, Tuchel was asked what it takes for the 27-year-old to wear the PSG armband in the future, and he replied, \u201cNo [on Neymar being a future PSG captain], we have two captains in Thiago Silva and Marquinhos \u2013 we will not be changing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, Neymar does not have the profile to be a captain with the armband.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a technical leader through his creativity, but he is not an armband-wearing captain. It is not necessary that he wears it and I do not understand why everybody is suddenly speaking about this.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must be respectful \u2014 we have Thiago and Marquinhos, who are fantastic,\u201d Tuchel added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
