Not Rodri, not Kessedo! The 20-year-old Parisian young player is the strongest midfielder today?

"Don't be surprised by Neves' performance. He showed his strength when he first joined." - Balcola

Paris has been fighting monsters continuously, and Neves has made an indelible contribution. After winning Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Inter Milan in the Champions League knockout stage, Paris Saint-Germain continued the pace of monster fighting and upgrading on the stage of the Club World Cup. After defeating Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, the French Ligue 1 giants eliminated Real Madrid and successfully won the final ticket.

Behind the casual data of forward players such as Douai, Kvaratshelia and Ottoman Dembele, Paris's defense line was very stable. Joao Neves, as the main midfielder, made an indelible contribution. His record 63 steals and 100% transmission in the finals reflected his value.

Top midfielder, the "price" of 80 million euros is too low

That year, Manchester United offered Benfica 90 million euros to buy Joao Neves, and Paris Saint-Germain successfully won the Portuguese star with 60 million euros. The trip to the "triple crown" in the past season proved their judgment. In the recently announced midfielder value list in the German transfer market, Joao Neves ranks behind Rodri and Kessedo. Considering that Rodri's condition after being seriously injured is difficult to guarantee, Kesedo focuses more on defense and interception. Neves may be the one with the most balanced skills in today's defensive midfielders. In fact, his combat ability is far more terrifying than his 80 million euros worth.

Super physical fitness and confrontational ability, which is the similarity between Joao Neves and Gattuso, Mascherano and others.

The "power" boy with comprehensive technology has been facing two powerful opponents, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in a row. The biggest feature of Joao Neves is that he can still maintain the accuracy and stability of his movements in high-intensity confrontation and high consumption states, which is in sharp contrast to many players whose movements will be deformed after their physical fitness declines. Because the French Ligue 1 platform is low on attention and the players themselves are relatively low-key, Joao Neves is not very popular now, and next year's US, Canada and Mexico World Cup may be an excellent time for him to make his name.
