The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain team, Thomas Tuchel, did not want to publicly discredit his team's star Neymar.
Recently recovered from a serious injury, the 27-year-old Brazilian decided to fly to Turin instead of carefully preparing for the French Cup final that will take place on Saturday.
In the Italian city, the striker, along with his compatriot Douglas Costa, attended an event.
"I know nothing about it," - said the German at a press conference on Friday.
"I am not his father, not a policeman or a detective. I am the head coach of the team, and Neymar participated in yesterday's training and is with us today. That's all," - said Tuchel.
