Venezuela held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in the World Cup qualifiers. Social media also trolled the whole team for their poor performance. However, it looks like the player that got the most trolled was Neymar. Following the match, a former Brazilian soccer player termed the Al Hilar star a ‘selfish’ player on the field.

The former PSG forward has also not started well for his new club Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro-League. He has also attracted criticism for streaming too much on social media. It is now on Neymar to do well in the next World Cup qualifier match against Uruguay to strengthen his commitment to the national team.

Neymar gave a lackluster performance against Venezuela. This also showed that the Brazil national team is feeling the effects of their last World Cup. Social media and fans in the stadium also trolled the whole Brazil team for the lack of ambition to win the match. Brazil and Neymar also failed to finish easy and clinical chances in the match. Therefore, the local media trolled the entire team for the performance. Brazil’s former soccer player Walter Casagrande has particularly called out the poor performance of Neymar.

Walter Casagrande, in his article, wrote, “It was terrible, irritating with its slowness, with its selfishness with the ball. But the icing on the cake is the same ridiculous bandeau paper. Now not just to try to get fouls or penalties, because he can’t stand playing. He has no start or speed, he is a ghost on the field.” A number of reports have also confirmed that Neymar got hit with a bag of popcorn. The Brazilian also cursed and got angry with the fan.
