Soccer superstar Neymar vows to have a different mentality now that he is officially back at Paris Saint-Germain.

Moments before the game started, Neymar’s name was booed when he was announced for the starting lineup. From that point on, all hell broke loose.

After the match, Neymar retained his professionalism and said that he totally understood the feelings of the fans, Give Me Sport reported.
“I understand the fans and I know that it was hard for them," he told reporters after the game. "But from now on I am a PSG player,” Neymar said.

“I am used to being booed throughout my career. This time, I will be playing each match as if we were away from home. It is a shame, I have nothing against the fans,” Neymar stated.
Neymar also noted that he doesn’t want to dwell on the matter and he is ready to move on. According to the Neymar, he will still give his best in every game for PSG despite all the hatred from fans.
"Everyone knew that I wanted to leave. I said it and I repeated it. I do not want to go into details. The page is turned. I am a PSG player and now I am going to give everything on the pitch.”
The drama all over Neymar’s return to PSG started when the Brazilian forward wanted out at Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar was reportedly pursuing a return to Barcelona but reports emerged that Barcelona decided to back out of a deal.
There was also some rumors in the past that Neymar could join his fellow soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in Juventus. However, for some reason, the deal also never came to fruition.
As a result, Neymar was left to play out at least one more season with PSG , something that reportedly left him in tears.
