| | Legend of Brazil: 'Neymar is an idiot.'22.06.2016 |
The legend of Brazilian football Rivelino criticized harshly for the striker Neymar statement of Barcelona after dropping from Selesao Copa America.
Neymar did not take part in the tournament because of an agreement between Barca and the Brazilian Confederation. Brazil failed to jump over the group stage of the Copa America, and Neymar wrote on Instagram:
'Now a lot of people will crawl out and will be talking shit. However, this is part of football.'
He later admitted he was too strong and apologized to those who felt offended by his words.
'Neymar is a football hero and it will be better to remain silent. He is an excellent footballer, but I'm of the opinion that we need to think more about the game, and not to events off the pitch. His entourage, however, more interested in what's going on outside the Court. I think that Neymar is the biggest idiot in this story. You must be built up history in Brazil national team to have the right to speak. He didn't win anything and did not give people cause for joy. Therefore, he should talk less.', said Rivelino, who won the 1970 World Cup with Selesao.
