Once more, Neymar's unsportsmanlike conduct will earn him headlines for the wrong reasons.
Following his diving antics in the FIFA World Cup, which prompted the viral phenomenon known as the "Neymar Challenge", the footballer tried to focus on his career. His refusal to join Real Madrid saw him putting an end to transfer rumors, and now, his performance in the Neymar Jr. Five-A-Side tournament raised some eyebrows for his tackle against a teenager from Mexico's team.
In a clip leaked online, Neymar can be seen trying to dribble past a teenager, who kept his eyes on the ball all the time. As Neymar got closer to the barrier, the teenager didn't concede an inch, and eventually took the ball away from the Brazilian ace.
Neymar's reaction included a vicious shove against the barrier, which forced the ref to call a foul. After being caught red-handed, Neymar only found it proper to smile.
