‘Neymar has the sensibility of a child’ – Dani Alves warns PSG star he must change

The Sao Paulo defender has told his former colleague to put himself out there a little more to gain the respect he deserves

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar must change his ways if he is to be treated with the respect he deserves, Dani Alves has said.

Alves, who left PSG for Sao Paulo in the summer and is a former team-mate of the striker at Barcelona and with Brazil, believes the 27-year-old has “the sensibility of a child”, which causes him to be treated unfairly.

Neymar has regularly found himself in the spotlight due to his behaviour in recent months, most notably when he returned to pre-season training with PSG late as he tried to push through a move to Spain in the summer.
