Paris Saint-Germain defender Thomas Meunier has admitted that his team-mate Neymar's style of play can be 'annoying' for opposing defenders.
Neymar, who is known for his flair, frequently manages to draw fouls from opponents, with Meunier describing the Brazil international as 'sneaky'.
However, Meunier stressed that Neymar's style is hugely beneficial for PSG.
As reported by goal, Meunier said: 'He is a frustrating player for opponents. He can stop suddenly with the ball and it makes it too much sometimes.
'It's quite annoying, I can understand it. Also, it's an advantage for us.
'Two or three players have been booked because of him. Then they have to control themselves and Ney can benefit from that.
'He knows how to be a bit sneaky. It's good for us and he does it really well.'
Neymar scored a penalty as PSG beat Reims 4-1 on Wednesday and has scored five goals in six Ligue 1 games so far this campaign.
PSG will hope that Neymar will help them to enjoy a lengthy run in the Champions League this season, although they have work to do to get out of the group stages following a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in their opening game.
Neymar's first season at PSG was curtailed by injury but the 26-year-old is now at full sharpness.
PSG return to action on Saturday when they travel to face OGC Nice.

Thats just terrible journalism, its just biased as one cant be f.ickle to the point of not being able to interpret what Meunier has said. To be clear so the misinformed and hateful would understand, hes saying Neymar is nasty to play against, too skillful, too quick, so much so that defenders only choice is to hack him down during open play. There are ways in which you can interpret something, right or just being nasty in the negative sense.
