Neymar's best position at Paris Saint-Germain explained by boss Tuchel

Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to continue using Neymar as a number 10 to involve him in more attacking plays.

Neymar has primarily operated from the left since joining PSG from Barcelona in August 2017, but this season Tuchel has at times deployed him in a central playmaking role.

The Brazilian started on the wing against Rennes on Sunday but was shifted to the middle in the second half and played a key role in goals for Thomas Meunier and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting that sealed a 3-1 victory.

Tuchel explained why he likes to use Neymar in that area when addressing the media ahead of PSG's Ligue 1 clash with Reims on Wednesday.
