‘If I didn’t dive, I’d be injured now’
PSG forward Neymar told Brazil legend Ronaldo that if he did not dive during matches, he would end up injured due to a lack of protection.
Ronaldo told Neymar he understood from the player’s father he goes down on the pitch “to defend yourself physically” and the PSG star offered his thoughts on the subject.
“If I didn’t do it, I’d be injured now,” Neymar said during the interview on Otro’s Youtube channel. “You have to protect yourself because nobody is going to do it for you.”
Neymar is currently out of action after picking up a hamstring injury while playing for Brazil in a friendly against Nigeria. He is expected to be out for four weeks.
