It is said that the mentality of a manager is reflected in the way his players perform on the field. In the wake of last two Champions League exits that seems true about Unai Emery and PSG. Last year's defeat to Barcelona even after having a four-goal advantage in the first leg was nothing short of a disaster.

The former Sevilla boss has been a weak presence in the dugout, erring even when he should not, making soft and safe decisions in high-pressure situations and failing to motivate the team after an unexpected turn of events.

Playing under a manager scared to take risks is not going to help Neymar win anything precious, let alone Ballon d'Or.

On the contrary, Zidane is an inspiring presence for Real. He has done a great job in keeping the morale of the team high even after a disastrous first half of the season. Working with Zidane will surely make Neymar a more complete player than he is now.
