​Paris Saint-Germain star Julian Draxler has defended club teammate Neymar over his reported privileged position and his broken relationships with striker Edinson Cavani and manager Unai Emery, claiming that the Brazilian is "a young man full of respect."





Neymar has been in the eye of the storm ever since his world record move to Paris, first getting involved in a fight with Cavani over penalty duties and is also said to be unhappy with Emery and life in France in general.

The 25-year-old recently refutted such reports calling them baseless while Draxler too claims that everything that has been happened has been created from the outside.





"There was the story of the penalty with Edinson, which was settled after one or two days. However, everybody else kept talking about it for four or five weeks afterwards. I believe that this is part and parcel of life as a superstar like Neymar. A lot of incorrect things are said about him. He is a young man, full of respect, who knows how important he is to the team", Draxler said, as quoted by ​ESPN.

"An exceptional player like #Neymar is entitled to have privileges, if they do exist. No one here is bothered about it. We are stronger with him. The media should mind their own business." pic.twitter.com/nYCkAr2HN8 — Seleção Brasileira (@BrazilStat) November 13, 2017





"It is for this reason that he gets a few privileges. Perhaps he also demanded them, I do not know. However, a player like him has the right to do that. The other players are not jealous or angry about this", he added.





The German international's place was under threat due to the arrival of Neymar, but Draxler has since reinvented himself as a central midfielder and is now enjoying regular minutes on the pitch under Emery, scoring two goals and registering two assists in 10 appearances in the league.
