Neymar in the spotlight, ex-Benfica star doesn't hold back with criticism | OneFootball

Neymar's life since returning to Brazil has not been easy, and it got worse after the clash with Flamengo. At the end of the match, the Santos footballer disrespected his coach, an attitude that did not go unnoticed by Luisão. Live on ESPN, the former Benfica player criticized his compatriot.

After taking on several roles within the Benfica organization, the former number 4 is now a commentator on ESPN and did not like the attitude of the former captain of the Brazilian national team at all. "I understand, but no one put a gun to his head to make him come play for Santos", Luisão began by saying on the show Resenha.

"He said he came because he wanted to and he signed his contract. So, the least he can do is respect the Santos jersey, those who play alongside him, those who train with him, and the fans," the former Benfica player continued, criticizing Neymar's behavior.

The fact that he ignored the coach when he was substituted and went straight to the locker room was something his compatriot did not like, considering that Neymar is only harming himself: "It's not by doing these kinds of things that he thinks he will earn respect. That only tarnishes his image."
