Despite his unbelievable talent, Neymar has a knack of winding people up.
Schadenfreude is the name for it. It's what was felt when Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup by Belgium. A lot of people were happy because Neymar was finally out.
The Paris Saint-Germain attacker displayed his talent during the tournament, but he also displayed the bad side of him, too. The rolling around, the diving - all the sort of things which you don't want to see in a footballer, especially one with that much talent.
But he has an admirer in Barcelona legend Xavi, a player who is known for his geniality - and knows what it means to be a good footballer.
The Spaniard told AS: "It's the way he plays, it's just the way he is and that's hard to change. I can understand that it causes problems, some people think he dives too much..."
"But what you cannot criticise him for is for lack of trying or for not having personality; he will always take on a player or carry the weight of the team on his shoulders and I would much rather have a player like that on my side than someone who hides or is afraid to take risks."
It's a fair point, but not one that will go too well with some spectators of the World Cup.
Xavi - who is a Barcelona legend - knows what he's talking about, but not everyone will be agreeing with this statement.
Do you agree with Xavi here? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
