L'Équipe newspaper describes a cold war within Paris Saint Germain between the pair Neymar - Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.

"The battle between egos at PSG has just begun," the newspaper said.Sportlast year commented. They pointed out that the two starsNeymar and Mbappe are "ganging up", causing internal divisions within the French capital team. Specifically, Mbappe is said to want to be closer to Neymar than Cavani.

According toL'Equipe, the interaction between Mbappe and Neymar is better than with Cavani. Statistics show that 25% of the French striker's passes are directed to his Brazilian colleague. Meanwhile, Neymar also gives 31% of his passes to the 19-year-old striker.

Cavani and Neymar are said to always have jealousy.

On the contrary, Mbappe only had 5% of his passes go to Cavani. Meanwhile, Neymar was worse, only 0.5% of his passes went to his teammate. That shows the huge difference in playing style between Neymar - Mbappe and Cavani on the PSG attack front.

In the 5-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais last weekend, Cavani did not receive a single pass from Neymar or Mbappe in 40 minutes on the pitch. The Uruguayan striker was then substituted by coach Thomas Tuchel before half-time, after defender Presnel Kimpembe was sent off.

At the end of 90 minutes at the Parc des Princes, Mbappe scored 4 goals, the remaining goal belonged to Neymar.

NewspaperL'EquipeFrankly commenting, Cavani is feeling isolated at PSG. He seems lost on the attacking front due to not receiving support from his two partners. That is also partly because Cavani's close friends Javier Pastore, Giovani Lo Celso and Yuri Berchiche all left the club.

Neymar and Mbappe are closer at PSG.

This season, Cavani has scored 6 goals and had 3 assists. However, the former Napoli star no longer has the same enthusiasm as before. It has been replaced by an attitude of frustration and anger. When scoring, Cavani no longer celebrates happily like when he first joined the team.

The story of Mbappe and Neymar becoming friends and "boycotting" Cavani appeared early last September. At that time, the newspaperSport.esnoticed that Mbappe and Neymar have only passed to Cavani twice since the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, this duo has passed to each other 9 times.

In recent times, PSG has spent a lot of money to serve its ambition to dominate Europe. Many stars such as Neymar, Mbappe..., have been brought to the capital Paris by the club. But according toNew York Times, the French team has never had the appearance of a collective, playing football with its own identity. They are like a motley army.

According to foreign press, PSG has never been a team with high team spirit.

In addition, PSG's internal conflicts have been going on since last year. Typically, Cavani and Neymar had a disagreement over the right to take penalties. Last season, the Ligue 1 representative, despite winning the domestic championship, still stopped very early in the Champions League when losing to Real Madrid in the round of 16.

It is easy to understand the failure of the French team. PSG has too many egos in the dressing room and no one wants to give in to anyone. This season, it seems like the old story is repeated when Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani join the chaos in the team's dressing room.
