Emery: Neymar Should Be Protected

PSG coach Unai Emery believes Neymar deserves to be protected after he was sent off following two yellow cards, one after he was fouled and not blown for.

Edinson Cavani rescued a point for PSG in the 93rd minute, as they played out a 2-2 draw against Marseille.

And Emery believes Neymar, who scored the first goal for PSG deserved to be protected after an unfair yellow.

“We are a little disappointed about the sending off because he was fouled a lot throughout the match,” Emery told a news conference.



“I think the referee also needs to think well. We must protect the players.

“The yellow card, I think it’s not fair to Neymar. He’s a player who wants to play, but if every game he is provoked, [there is] aggression… I think it’s a job to protect the important players in both teams.”
