Brazil\u2019s media on Monday dubbed the spat between Paris Saint-Germain stars Neymar and Edinson Cavani over who should take a penalty kick during their victory against Lyon \u201ca war of egos.\u201d<\/p>\n
Newspapers in Brazil, always hungry for Neymar news, dived into the tussle in which the recently signed PSG superstar tried to take the ball from his Uruguayan teammate on Sunday. Cavani kept the ball but had his shot saved in what was ultimately a 2-0 win.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeymar and Cavani argue again,\u201d O Dia\u2019s headline read, referring to another penalty incident during PSG\u2019s 6-2 win over Toulouse on August 20 — Neymar\u2019s first home game with the French side after transferring from Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe result allowed Neymar\u2019s team to remain leaders but what caught the attention was the poor understanding between the Brazilian and Cavani,\u201d O Globo daily said.<\/p>\n
Ledio Carmona, a commentator for Sport TV, which broadcasts Ligue 1 games, said Neymar risks estranging himself from his new teammates if he keeps \u201cplaying selfishly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this throws a bit of a shadow, it shows an overly individualistic side. If other situations like this happen the situation could degrade,\u201d he told AFP.<\/p>\n
Globoesporte.com went further, calling it a \u201cwar of egos.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear these two players don\u2019t get on,\u201d the site said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
