After controversy in 2009, when Neymar tumbled to the ground against Corinthians to win a penalty, Chicão was incensed by the starlet’s behaviour. Now, he is pleased with what he sees.
“Neymar is much harder to mark now because he doesn’t fall to the floor,” said the Corinthians idol, who has been a symbol of the new post-Serie B Timão side.
This weekend sees Santos take on Corinthians in the Paulista State Championships, with both teams having enjoyed pleasing starts to the new campaign.
