Copa America 2019: Neymar drags down youngster Weverton who nutmegged PSG star in Brazil training

Neymar pulled a young team-mate to the ground after being nutmegged by him in a Brazil training session.


The Paris Saint-Germain star was not impressed when Cruzeiro teenager Weverton, 19, who was called up to the senior squad by manager Tite to gain experience, cheekily put the ball through his legs.

Neymar will be crucial to Brazil’s chances of winning a first Copa America since 2007


Neymar didn’t appear to react well and pulled Weverton to the ground, then causally walking off, though in the video that was posted on Twitter, there’s doesn’t seem to be too much ill feeling.


It has been a rotten 2019 so far for the Brazil forward, who has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.


Neymar was slapped with a three-game ban by the French football authorities for lashing out at a fan following PSG’s Coupe de France final defeat to Rennes last month.





He was also handed another three-game suspension, this time by UEFA, for criticising officials in an explicit rant on social media after the Ligue 1 champions’ last-16 exit to Manchester United in March.


His lack of discipline has led to Tite stripping him of the Brazil captaincy and handing it over to club team-mate Dani Alves.











The right-back is set to lead his country in friendlies against Qatar and Honduras before their Copa America campaign kicks off next month.


Brazil, who host the tournament, suffered more setbacks to their preparations when Neymar limped out of training holding his left knee on Tuesday.


The 27-year-old, who was sidelined for three months with a foot injury earlier this year, is a doubt for Brazil’s Copa America opener against Boliva on June 15.
