Former Brazil international Julio Baptista has accused Neymar of over doing his theatrics during the World Cup in Russia.
Brazil star Neymar came under fire for exaggerating fouls at the World Cup in Russia, where his team were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Baptista believes the Paris Saint-Germain forward is prone to going over the top with his exaggeration, but added that Neymar was also frequently fouled.
“It is true that Neymar sometimes takes things too far, but we must remember that he gets kicked a lot,” the 47-time Brazil international said.
“It is true that he dives sometimes – which is not good for football – but he gets kicked a lot too.”
Neymar scored twice at the World Cup, but Brazil’s run was ended by Belgium in the last eight.
