A war of words has erupted between Neymar and Rodri, with the Al-Hilal forward accusing the Manchester City midfielder of becoming a “talkative” after his recent comment on Vinicius Junior.
Recall that Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, had advised Vinicius to “pay attention” to become a better footballer.
However, Neymar took to Instagram to respond to Rodri’s comment, saying: “He became a talker now.”
The exchange comes after Rodri’s remarks on Vinicius, where he suggested that the Real Madrid player needed to focus more on the pitch to improve his game.
According to football pundits, Neymar’s response is seen as a defense of his Brazilian compatriot, Vinicius.
