Santos forward, Neymar has shot down reports he is having troubles with his teammates.
According to him, those peddling the reports do not understand football.
Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reports that Neymar was involved in a dressing-room incident in Santos’ draw with Chapecoense on Saturday.
The 34-year-old, who scored two goals in the match, reportedly harshly criticised two teammates.
He was said to have told 21-year-old Gabriel Bontempo that he was “shit” and questioned João Ananias’s technical ability.

After the game, Bontempo and Ananias downplayed the incident, acknowledging there was a general dressing down in the dressing room rather than personal confrontation with Neymar.
Reacting to the incident, Neymar also said the incident was blown out of proportion by people who did not understand football.
He said, “If I have to criticise someone in the dressing room, that’s normal in football and normal in a team that wants to win!
“For those of you writing these malicious and false articles, you know nothing about football, you don’t understand the game!!!”
