“Neymar, you are fat”

The low level shown by Neymar against Chile and his poor physical condition they have provoked innumerable criticisms of him in Brazil. If the headlines of the Brazilian press charged the inks against the extreme of PSG, no less harsh were the criticisms of some ex-footballers of the ‘canarinha’.

“It is the first time that I see Neymar fat and with the face so swollen”, declared Edílson, world champion with Brazil in 2002. “He is a phenomenon, I have no doubt about that, but Neymar, how is it that you are fat? You are a monster, but you are fat, you are out of shape “, said the former international José Ferreira ‘Neto’ in Band Sports. In the same terms, the Brazilian World Cup player in 1986 Walter Casagrande spoke: “Neymar is clearly out of shape, he is slow and he has lost almost every play he tried to make. In my opinion, Tite should have taken Neymar out of the game. It was a World Cup qualifier, not a soccer game with friends after a barbecue. “

Prior to these criticisms, Neymar had already responded on social media to comments about his alleged “overweight” after the match against Chile: “The shirt was size G (L in European size), I am at my weight. In the next game I ask for an M”. The message was accompanied by several emojis, bursting with laughter. It is clear that a sense of humor, like dodging rivals, few beat Neymar.
