Neymar's PSG form points to a change in attitude. Can he keep it going?

Antoine Kombouare, the present Nantes manager and former PSG defender (1990-95) has pretty much seen it all in football. But even he was surprised at what he saw. He couldn't help but casually question Neymar (although a bit tongue in cheek too) during the French Super Cup between PSG and Nantes 10 days ago in Israel: "Oh so you defend now, do you?"

It made the Brazilian forward smile; indeed, he had just sprinted 30 yards to get back into a defensive position as PSG had lost the ball and Nantes were about to attack. If this was new to Kombouare, it felt also new to a lot of people watching.
