“Why are you attacking”
Moments after Croatia found the equalizer, Neymar was seen reprimanding his teammates on why they insisted on going forward when all they needed to do was see out the game with some resolute defending.
The video, shared by Brazilian reporter Marcio Spimpolo, appeared to show Neymar asking his teammates why they were attacking with a 1-0 lead with five minutes to go.
Interestingly, Neymar did not get the chance to take a penalty in the shootout as Brazil missed two of their opening four kicks.
Moments after the defeat, it was also confirmed that coach Tite stepped down from his role in the Brazilian dugout.
