'Neymar is a real crybaby' – Marco van Basten slams 'unpleasant' Neymar and would like someone to 'really deal with him' | The Sun

DUTCH legend Marco van Basten has lambasted "crybaby" Neymar and would like someone to "really deal" with the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.

The star forward has often been criticised for diving as well as complaining ever since bursting onto the scene with Barcelona in 2013, before joining PSG in 2017.


Van Basten didn't hold back on his own criticism as he claims the Brazil international is "unpleasant" on the pitch.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner insists he would "applaud" anyone that took him down a peg.

Van Basten told Cabine Desportiva: "Neymar is a real crybaby, he's constantly teasing.

"One second he fouls someone and the next he plays the victim again. There's no permission to touch him.
