Andres Guardado warns of Neymar diving ahead of Brazil clash

Mexico national team captain Andres Guardado has warned officials to be on the lookout for Neymar’s theatrics ahead El Tri’s Round of 16 clash with Brazil.

Speaking to media in a press conference on Friday, Guardado didn’t hold back on Brazil’s star player.

“We all know Neymar,” said the Real Betis man. “He likes to exaggerate fouls, dive a lot”.

Neymar, of course, is a huge part in the Verde-Amarela’s team, and while he is known for taking the ground a lot, he is also one of the most fouled players in international football.
