However, the 26-year-old, who scored his 19th and 20th goals of the campaign for the defending Ligue 1 champions in their record 9-0 victory over Guingamp, spoke of his huge admiration for coach Tuchel after the match, seemingly suggesting he may stay at the Parc des Princes longer than many may think. "We have players of great quality, which allows us to aim high," he is quoted as saying by Canal+. "It's a friendship but, at the same time, a huge mutual respect. "I respect him as a coach but when we need to talk, we talk. I've developed a great affection towards him since the first time we spoke. "When you have this great affection for your coach, you give your life on the pitch. For him, I will do my best to win." Neymar also revealed why he feels more "at home now" in France after initially struggling to adapt, citing the injury he sustained prior to the 2018 World Cup as a big reason. "I suffered a bit but I already feel at home now," he added. "Last year I was faced with several problems, like injuries. I was away from the club for almost three months, perhaps that's why I now feel happier today. "I suffered an injury, the most delicate of my career, but I've been able to get going again and I'm fine now."
