What Neymar Said To The Referee During Brazil Vs. Costa Rica
Published

Neymar didn't react well when Bjorn Kuipers touched him.
The influential Brazilian star left it late as he netted in the dying stages which preceded Philippe Coutinho opening the scoring in the 91st minute.

However, minutes prior to Coutinho's goal, drama ensued.
Neymar was adjudged to have been fouled inside the box with Kuipers pointing to the spot. Though his decision was overturned through VAR.
Neymar, still fuming with the decision, then responded angrily in his next interaction with the Dutch referee.
Kuipers laid a hand on Neymar's chest who said: "Don't touch me."
Tad immature, Neymar.
His perceived arrogance prompted a slew of Tweets:

#Neymar really is quite a unpleasant character. Not just for the dive but he is so arrogant, the red just touched him and he quite clearly says "don't touch me" what a prick.
