Neymar is the perfect team-mate: Mbappe

London : Neymar might be a brilliant individual player - but he is also a fantastic team-mate, says his PSG colleague Kylian Mbappe.

“People on the outside see a Neymar on the pitch, but that’s not him,” Mbappe told Marca.

“People see him doing tricks and dribbles and think that he is only trying to enjoy himself, that he’s selfish and only thinks about himself. But when you share a dressing room with him you realise that it’s not the case.

“It’s true that he’s a very kind person, that he is interested in others. He’s very nice, and he plays for the team first.

“His football is all about dribbling and skills and you aren’t going to ask him to stop because he does it very well. There’s nobody who dribbled like him in this aspect of the game - he’s a footballer who can win us titles and we have to take advantage.”

Neymar signed for the Ligue 1 leaders from Barcelona in a record €222m deal, and has scored 17 goals in 20 appearances so far. Edinson Cavani has scored 25 times - and Mbappe himself has a haul of 12.

“What we want to do is win and be competitive, it’s good that we are the best attack in the world, but it doesn’t guarantee you anything, it’s the whole team that wins,” added Mbappe.

“It’s true that it’s good to have a good striker, but you have to win.”

Mbappe was also asked about playing against his hero, Cristiano Ronaldo with the forward saying that his focus for the Champions League clash against Real Madrid will be on winning.
