Neymar: Rodri is a talkative guy
Neymar criticized Rodri after sarcastic words for Vinicius Junior on the sidelines of the 2024 Ballon d'Or award ceremony.
Neymar has just attracted attention when he reacted strongly to Rodri's statements aimed at Vinicius Junior. The incident started when Rodri, who just won the 2024 Ballon d'Or, made sarcastic comments about Neymar's teammate in the Brazilian team. In an interview with El Larguero, Rodri hinted that Vinicius should focus on playing instead of off-field issues.
Rodri's win has been controversial, especially from Real Madrid. The club, which had high hopes for Vinicius, did not send a representative to the award ceremony, highlighting the discontent after the Manchester City midfielder won the prestigious title. Rodri's comments, such as: "Vinicius is very intelligent. With time, he will understand that what he needs to do is focus on training and playing," were seen by many as unnecessary provocation.
Neymar did not keep quiet about the situation. He left a harsh comment on social media, referring to Rodri as a "talkative person". Neymar's reaction quickly attracted attention, sparking a wave of controversy between fans of both players.
It is worth mentioning that both Neymar and Rodri are currently out with serious injuries. Rodri suffered a cruciate ligament injury, causing Man City to fall behind in the Premier League title race. Neymar, who has just returned from a similar injury, is again sidelined with a calf problem.
The tensions surrounding this event not only reflect the pressure on stars at the top, but also highlight the harshness of the race for individual awards such as the Ballon d'Or. The incident continues to attract attention, as both stars have yet to return to the pitch to prove their worth.
