Neymar criticised by Brazil's president before surgery

It is now two weeks since Neymar was last seen on a football pitch after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a match for Brazil in October.
Awaiting surgery, which is due to take place with Selecao doctor Rodrigo Lasmar shortly, the former Parisian organised a huge party at one of his houses in Brazil last weekend, which led to President Lula's indirect criticism of him.
"Messi will serve as an example to all our young people. Anyone who wants to win the Ballon d'Or has to dedicate themselves to what they do, they have to be professional. It doesn't work if you go on a binge, and if you go out..." said the Brazilian leader on the 'Conversations with the President' programme.
What's more, an Instagram story by his partner Bruna Biancardi also seems to be linked to this party, even though their child was born less than a month ago: "Don't expect someone to change if they don't see the problem in what they're doing...". Atmosphere.
