Emery To Let Neymar And Cavani Decide Who Takes Penalties

By davicole

Unai Emery says he will let Edinson Cavani and Neymar come to an agreement over who will take the penalties, after the pair appeared to argue over a spotkick in the match against Lyon.



PSG won the match 2-0, courtesy of two own goals, however, the disagreement between the two star forwards overshadowed the match.

Cavani won the argument, but ended up missing the spotkick, and Emery says he will only intervene, if they cannot come to a gentleman’s agreement.

“The penalties are to be struck by a few players, one is Cavani and the other is Neymar,” Emery said.

“It takes a gentleman’s agreement on the ground to hit the penalties.

“Afterwards, we will arrange internally for the penalties that are coming in, because I think both are able to score them, and I want the two to alternate in this exercise.

“If there is no agreement, I will decide. I do not want it to be a problem for us.”
