JAKARTA - Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Edouard Cisse launched a stinging attack on Neymar, describing the forward as a 'spoiled child'.

Cisse played for PSG for 10 years between 1997 and 2007, and he says Neymar fared much better at Barcelona.

"In Barcelona there is a structure," Cisse told Le Parisien after PSG were beaten 2-0 by Rennes in Ligue 1 on Sunday night.

"(Neymar) has a cleaner style of play, even though he dribbles more.

"His job is to break down the defensive line, make the difference and pass the ball to General (Lionel) Messi.

"He did so well that he became his 'alter ego'."

Cisse went on to state that Neymar faced a completely different situation in Paris.

"In Paris, they gave him the keys and let him do what he wanted."

"In one moment, he was lost.

"He is a great player, no one can argue with that, but he has become a spoiled brat and he rules everyone around him."

The two Rennes each in last night's match were created by Gaetan Laborde and Flavien Tait. PSG itself lowered the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in their attack line.

This result does not affect PSG's position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, which has collected 24 points from 9 matches. While Rennes sits in eighth position with 11 points.
