[Dr.Drako]

 

The French club requested a TV Globo report to defend the Brazilian star in his accusation of racism against Álvaro González. According to Globo Esporte, PSG "already has the images used" and plans to get to the bottom of it.

PSG will rely on a Brazilian report with the professional opinions of three lip-reading experts to seek to demonstrate that Neymar was a victim of racism by Álvaro González, Globo Esporte said.

Luis Felipe Ramos, member of the Rio de Janeiro Deaf Association, Felipe Oliver and Mikel Vidal, translators who work with the Brazilian National Institute of Education for the Deaf, were brought together by the Esporte Espetacular program and analyzed the images of the discussion between the star of the 'Canarinha'.

 

In the end they agreed that the Spanish defender called ‘Ney’ "monkey."
The exposed comments left Paris Saint-Germain more than satisfied, which immediately began efforts to obtain the material released this Sunday and defend its star.

The club (PSG) already has the images used in the TV Globo report, ”said the Globo network news outlet.
We could not, for example, understand what he says before pronouncing the word ‘monkey’. But on the word ‘monkey’ we had consensus at the time the lip-reading work was being carried out, "said Felipe Oliver, one of the specialists consulted, in the report.

 

Neymar Jr. received a two-game suspension for slapping González on the head in the French classic between PSG and Marseille, played exactly one week ago.

The Disciplinary Commission of the French Professional Football League, in charge of Ligue 1, also agreed to open an investigation into the accusations of racist comments that the Brazilian presented against the defender.

 

The former Barcelona player was sent off after the VAR warned the referee of some images in which, taking advantage of a suspension of the game, he hit González on the back of the head, something he did on another occasion during the match.

 

Then he repeatedly accused the Spanish defender of having made a racist comment, specifically "monkey son of p ...", as detailed on Instagram after the incident.

 

González repeatedly denied having made that comment and an uncle of his told a Spanish television channel that he actually called him "fool", a word with a similar sound but a totally different meaning. In recent days, both OM and PSG have defended their players on this case.
