Brazil superstar Neymar wrestles 19-year old to the ground for nutmegging him in training

Brazil superstar Neymar recently elicited angry reactions online after seemingly throwing a 19-year-old on the ground after the teen outshone him in training.

Teenager Weverton Guilherme certainly left a mark in training and one of his victim was none other than the most expensive player in the world.

Weverton, who plays for Cruziero in his native Brazil, faced the likes of established players including Casemiro and Gabriel Jesus and from videos of the session doing rounds online, he definitely impressed.

However, his highlight of the day came when he came face to face with Neymar as he nut-megged the outgoing Brasil captain who was having none of it.

Having realised he had just been schooled by a 19-year old, Neymar immediately picked up Weverton and wrestled him to the ground amid laughter from his teammates who were wary of his injured pride.

Quite annoyingly, 27-year-old Neymar walked away from the scene as if nothing happened soon after.

The mini-incident summed up the PSG forward’s overall demeanor and disciplinary issues and perhaps explains why he was stripped off captaincy for Brasil’s upcoming friendlies.

His PSG teammate, 36-year-old Dani Alves, will wear the armband for Samba Boys' upcoming games, as stated in a statement by the Brasil Footballing body CBF.

“Daniel Alves will be captain of the Brazilian national team in the friendly matches against Qatar and Honduras and in Copa America Brazil 2019," CBF said in a statement.

As far as his professionalism is concerned, Neymar has found himself at the centre of criticism, particularly for his off-the-ball antics.

He recently earned himself a ban after appearing to punch a fan in frustration following PSG’s shock cup loss at the hands of Rennes.
