Matthäus: Neymar should focus more on football and less on tricks

Lothar Matthäus has commented on his relationship with Brazil striker Neymar.

"It's a shame that he got injured, but I'll tell you one thing: I don't like his diving. It's not necessary. He should focus more on football and less on tricks. He helps the team more when he spends less time on it.

Neymar is a great football player and everything else is a show that I don't like. I like to watch him play and not fall. Why is he doing this?” he said.

Neymar suffered an injury against Serbia and will miss the rest of the World Cup group stage matches in Qatar.
