The PSG forward has a knack of making the headlines for the wrong reasons, something that concerns a fellow former Santos star
Brazilian football legend Pele has warned Neymar that his on and off-field antics, including his propensity to go down, are hurting his bid to reach greatness in world football.
Neymar has long been compared to his compatriot; the pair both grew up in the famed youth system of Santos, where each achieved fantastic success.
Pele lifted the Brazilian title six times and also triumphed in the Copa Libertadores on two occasions in 1962 and 1963, Santos' last win in the competition until a Neymar-inspired team prevailed over Penarol in 2011.
