If you fuse Kaka and Neymar you get Ronaldinho. Neymar is half the player peak Ronaldinho was. The guy made Barcelona relevant again.
Is Neymar a childish brat?

It’s not so much that people hate him, it’s how aggressive the hatred seems to be. It’s the type I’d reserve for the Steven Gerrard’s of the world, not a showman like Neymar who I get to watch play football about 5-6 times a season when the CL latter stages come around.
That way you can rationalize everything. Why would I celebrate a goal by 11 dudes whom I'll never meet and don't know who I am? It's pointless. Hating on football players is a fun and irrational thing to do. Hate is also a very strong word of course, I dislike his antics on a football pitch though don't wish any actuall ill on him aside from losing.
And yes, the opposition team spends a lot of time kicking him about. Doesn't mean that he's not a diving cnut as well. It's a show and every good show needs a villain. It's the way we work.
Also, to be clear, I was mostly pointing out the fact people claim to not understand why he gets the hate. It's easy to understand even if you don't share the opinion right? For instance @DWelbz19 hates Steven Gerrard and I obviously understand, since he's a pool player and a selfish twat, even though I personally have no real feelings towards the guy either way, I do understand. See?
He seems like a person, who will not grow up, until he is in his 40s
I wasn't speaking about how good Neymar is in comparison to Ronaldinho. I'm saying that in terms of combining attacking threat with flair and creativity, Neymar is Ronaldinho's closest analog in today's game. Messi is obviously way more effective but he, similar to Ronaldo, cut out a lot of fat from his game. Neymar has the fat (proverbially speaking), similar to Ronaldinho. If Neymar wasn't a twat he would be the next face of those Joga Bonito ads.
Fair enough. I misunderstood your post.
Ronaldinho’s a great example of how it’s possible for an extremely talented Brazilian flair player to be universally adored. Literally nobody had a bad word to say about him on here. And this is despite him (allegedly) snubbing a transfer to United at the very last minute. The player that Neymar could have been. If he wasn’t such a twat.
Ronaldinho had charisma, Neymar is a pest.
Yep. I don't really get it? If he played for another PL team, a rival, I'd get it more, the venom is baffling. He's a tit, quite grating on the pitch often, but extremely entertaining footballer, and there's not enough of them anymore.
I agree. In an increasingly uniform football world, Neymar should be praised as a creative offensive player with superior technical skills.

Damn that's bad.
Be out for a while with that
He really is unlucky... he put his foot on the worst spot possible after the tackle.
These injuries can be milder than they look though, or worse, it's totally unpredictable. Hard to imagine he'll be out for less than 4 weeks though.
Bad looking injury that and surprising because usually he doesn't put a foot wrong.
He is a diving queen. But tbh he had quit a few horrible injuries in his career.
That's it for Neymar in 2021.
Should be back in Feb or early March.

Looks very bad yet I still have no sympathy whatsoever
A player I would love to see in the premier League.
Get well soon
Get well soon
If the ligament's torn, 4-6 months.
If it's only sprained, 1-2 months.

Felt bad for him.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wishing the lad a speedy recovery.
Abit harsh that.
Not saying i wished it would happen just more that I'm not bothered that it did.
He has shamed football with his cheating a lot more than anything positive he has done
No not really. It looks like a horrible injury so I wish the lad a speedy recovery.
Total nonsense
Hopefully it is a sprain
He’s been quite injury prone ever since leaving Barcelona. Big part in stopping him from taking the no.1 spot that should be his with Messi and Ronaldo now being grandpa age
Odd thing to say when any player gets an injury like that
Yes he has had injury issues but I still think he’s been the third best player of this generation.
What a wasted talent.
Could have killed him
What an absolute turd.
Diving in preseason.
He's lucky to still have legs after that!
There's a serious art to diving that well. Ref bought it hook, line and sinker.
Detestable cnut.
