Daniel Riolo harshly criticized Neymar after Brazil's elimination. The RMC consultant criticizes the Brazilian for his attitude, his repeated provocations, and his complaints when he himself is criticized or targeted. Daniel Riolo accuses Neymar of taunting his opponents for years, while then portraying himself as the victim. He also questions his off-field behavior and his influence on decisions regarding the Brazilian national team.
Daniel Riolo declared: "He's been teasing people for 10 years, only to end up crying. Go to a nightclub like you did during preseason in New York while your friends were training. Go to Vegas and stop bothering us. Tease, but don't cry. Stop whining all the time, he does nothing but whine, stop your drama, he's unbearable. If I were Brazilian, I'd lose it. But if Neymar is the problem because Ancelotti feels obligated to call him up!!!"
Neymar accused of provoking and then complaining
The core of the criticism targets Neymar's attitude. Riolo accuses him of having long relied on provocation, taunting, and theatrics, while struggling to cope with the backlash. According to the journalist, Neymar cannot constantly provoke on the pitch, cultivate an image of a cocky player, and then complain as soon as the criticism becomes harsher.
Riolo doesn't stop at the pitch. He also brings up the player's nightlife and lifestyle, accusing him of prioritizing certain activities over athletic training. Looking at the results on the field, it's hard to disagree with him…
