After Brazil's exit from the Copa America group, Neymar caused controversy on social media over the use of inappropriate language, with former Brazilian star Rivelino calling Neymar an idiot.
Rivelino thinks Neymar is too focused on life off the pitch
After Brazil was eliminated in the group stage, Neymar, who did not participate in the Copa America with his team, posted a photo of the national team on his Instagram with the text: "A lot of bastards are going out blind again." The remarks got the Brazilian captain in trouble, and while he had cut the story and apologized for his actions, former Brazilian star Rivelino criticized Neymar's attitude.
"He'd better shut up." Rivelino said. Too much gossip has become a feature of his career, which is not a good thing. He's a great player, but I think he should focus more on the pitch. ”
'I think the most idiotic thing in the whole thing is him, he's not qualified to say that, he hasn't won anything, his words haven't made the Brazilian fans feel good at all, so he can say a little less.
"If you want to complain, bring the title to the Brazilian national team first, otherwise don't talk."
Rivelino was the champion when Brazil won the World Cup in 1970.
