Ronaldo criticizes Neymar: He's going through a tough time

The Brazil icon was not impressed with the 23-year-old's conduct after the 1-0 defeat to Colombia, after which he was sent off.

Brazil legend Ronaldo has criticized Neymar after he received a red card following his side's defeat to Colombia in the Copa America.

"It's not justified, what he has said and done," he said on Globo. "Currently he is going through a tough time."

Neymar will miss his side's final group game against Venezuela and has been given a provisional suspension on top of that for a red card he received after the final whistle of the 1-0 loss.
