Neymar's Already Paying Dividends on PSG's Insane Investment

Where'd the world's richest footballer learn these moves?

In a phone booth?

In only a few seconds, Neymar wowed the Paris-St Germain faithful with the sort of goal that only happens in video games.

With Les Rouges et Bleus hosting a fair-to-middling side in Toulouse to open the Ligue 1 season, the dude who shocked accountants everywhere served up a sample of what a €222million buyout with a €45million base contract can yield:

Two thoughts come to mind:

  • Incroyable! and
  • With defense like that, Toulouse is gonna have a long season.

It was already a long game for Le Téfécé, to the tune of a 6-2 pasting.

Neymar's wizardry was merely PSG's coup de grace.

Dude already notched a goal ...

 

He also set up a penalty and a two assists, one of which was this snazzy corner.

 

Frankly, Neymar was dangerous from whistle to whistle.

There will be tougher opponents than Toulouse, but amazingly, he's off to the sorta start that makes one wonder if he's actually gonna justify all that dosh.

 

The Champions League group stage draw is this Thu 24 Aug in Monaco. First games will be Tue-Wed 12-13 Sep.

That's when Neymar's mega-deal will really start being scrutinized.

It's only been one week, but it does appear like he's up for the challenge.
