Eden Hazard defends Neymar over the diving criticism

Eden Hazard has defended Neymar over the treatment he received during the World Cup, reports Goal. During the World Cup Brazilian superstar has been criticized for driving, as Brazil lost to Belgium in the quarter-finals. And Belgium superstar Eden Hazard has backed the Brazilian. "Totally inappropriate," he told HLN, "Neymar suffered the same injury two months before the World Championships as I did in June 2017 - a break between the ankle and the foot. He was out for a month and a half. "I can assure you: the body is not immediately ready for top performance again. Yet in Russia all responsibility came to his shoulders. He had to be the star of the tournament, he had to carry Brazil to the world title, he had to dribble, and all media peeked. "Plus, I know Neymar: he also wants to give the audience something. "You cannot criticise someone like that who did not even play a bad World Cup."
