In a recent interview for the media VIVA Sport, Neymar allowed himself to criticize his compatriot Vinicius Jr.
Brazil started its Copa America with a disappointing draw against Costa Rica (0-0) on the night of Monday to Tuesday. The opportunity for Seleção star Neymar to make a brief visit to his team’s training camp, as he continues his recovery from a serious left knee injury contracted in October 2023.
The Al-Hilal striker took the opportunity to grant an interview to
VIVA Sport and answer several questions. Asked about the least handsome player he had played with, Neymar did not fail to tease his teammate in the selection, Vinicius Jr.
“You’re ugly, but you’re funny”
“I’ve been around a lot of not-so-attractive players. With all respect, but I would choose Vinicius Junior. » replied the former Parisian. Neymar then continued in a joking tone:“Sorry Vini, I love you, but this is so funny. You’re ugly, but you’re funny. »
These statements, tinged with irony, should not fail to provoke a reaction, especially since Ney recently claimed to see Rodrygo, the key player of the Auriverde team, rather than Vinicius Jr.
