Last Saturday (19), on the trip from Turin (ITA) to Doha, Qatar, striker Neymar published an image in Instagram stories showing the shorts of the Brazilian national team with a sixth star drawn, as if he had won the sixth.
This provoked the reaction of the German newspaper Bild, which published a text criticizing the Brazilian. “Neymar’s first bout of arrogance,” wrote the diary. “The South Americans dream of winning their sixth world championship — which Neymar has already won for the Brazilian national team before the start of the tournament”, he amended, ironically.
After the repercussions of this report, Neymar returned to social networks this Wednesday (23) and published a message rebutting the Germans, but without mentioning them.
“Dreaming, aiming and putting your goal as a priority is not contempt for your rivals, but a goal for you to pursue. Tomorrow begins. Let’s go”, posted Neymar.
The Brazilian number 10 was also criticized by striker Kudus, from Ghana, who is in Group H of the Cup, alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea. “Neymar is not better than me. He is just more famous. We can meet again. Neymar and I, part two. I’m sure he would like it,” wrote the African player.
In the round of 16, the first place in Group G, from Brazil, faces the second from H. And the first from H faces the second from G. Thus, there is the possibility of crossing in the first round of the knockout.
