Neymar admits to abusing diving
The Brazilian superstar has promised to restore his image after being criticized for his excessive lying on the ground at the 2018 World Cup.
"People think I overreact, and there are times when I do," Neymar wrote onTwitter"The truth is that I suffer on the pitch, and people don't understand how I deal with it all after the game. When I leave without saying anything because I don't like losing and I'm afraid of disappointing people. When I behave unfriendly, that's when I have to face my fears."
"I am a child inside. There are times when this child stirs up the world and other times it makes people angry. People think I lie on the ground too much but in fact I have collapsed. I accept criticism, and look back at myself to become a new person. People can continue to throw stones or help me stand up."

The world's most expensive player has failed to make the 10-man shortlist for FIFA's The Best award, a result of a season without a second-half return to action at PSG and an underwhelming performance with Brazil at the 2018 World Cup.
Neymar’s excessive rolling around at the 2018 World Cup has damaged his image. The 26-year-old striker has been constantly dissected and ridiculed on social media, which is not good for the brands Neymar represents.
Neymar has announced that he will continue playing for PSG next season, ending rumors of a move to Real. The player's biggest goal is to bring PSG glory in the Champions League.
