Paris Saint-Germain midfielder João Neves is one of the bright young talents in the game. The 21-year-old was a key part of PSG’s Champions League-winning side a year ago and figures to have a big say in whether the Parisians can repeat the feat.
A Portuguese international, Neves caught the eye last week in PSG’s 2-0 quarterfinals first leg takedown of Liverpool with an assist. And recently, he was asked to name his MVP for each of the top five leagues.
When it came to the Bundesliga? He picked none
other than Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich.
“For sure Joshua Kimmich. One of my idols. I try to do a lot of the stuff that he does,” Neves said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kimmich gets occasional stick from Bayern fans over how influential he truly is in the Vincent Kompany’s midfield. But the man is still a model for others at his position to follow.
