NEYMAR showed his attacking instincts with a five-a-side selection that featured Lionel Messi but no goalkeeper.
Kylian Mbappe and Eden Hazard also made the cut as the Brazilian insisted upon a forward thinking setup that leaves Paul Pogba as the most defensive player.
In fairness, any side facing such a team would probably never get the ball off them anyway.
Another of Neymar’s former Barcelona colleagues Luis Suarez features with Mbappe the only Paris-Saint Germain man joining the winger.
No Brazil stars were selected by the 28-year-old because he was asked not to in the chat with Red Bull.
Neymar also selected a five-a-side team based on retired players and that too showed disregard for all things defence.
Four Premier League players were called up: Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham.
Spanish playmaker legend Xavi completed that quintet as once again a goalkeeper went missing.
The ex-Santos magician – who has been linked with a return to the Nou Camp – reportedly wants to extend his stay at Parc des Princes.
His current deal in Paris expires in 2022, but it has been claimed that he wants to start negotiations over a new deal.

Back in May, SunSport revealed that Neymar had reportedly rejected a new deal with the Ligue 1 side worth a whopping £600k-a-week in order to force through a move to former club Barcelona.
However he is now said to be ‘happier than ever’ in France with the forward now in his fourth season at the club.
The three-time Ligue 1 winner – who has twice been included in the French Team of the Year – has scored 72 goals in 89 games for PSG.
