Fabio Capello Blasts Neymar For 'Annoying' Diving

Fabio Capello Blasts Neymar For 'Annoying' Diving

Former Real Madrid manger, Fabio Capello, says Barcelona forward, Neymar, has an 'annoying attitude' and needs to stop diving.

The Italian, who twice led Madrid to league titles, in 1997 and 2007, watched as the Brazilian open the scoring in El Clasico, before Real Madrid fought back to win 3-1 on Saturday.

"Neymar is a great striker, but I hate that a player of his level has to fall to the ground every time you touch him," Capello told Fox Sports.

"He has a very annoying attitude."

Capello, isn't the first to accuse the 22-year-old of simulation, with former Selecao great Pele also saying he thought the 22-year-old was prone to diving.

Neymar has had his fair share of rough treatment through the years, his latest incident was in the summer World Cup in his native Brazil when Colombia's Juan Zuniga delivered a hard tackle on him.

The former Santos star was the fourth most-fouled player in la Liga last season and joint-sixth most-fouled at the World Cup alongside Lionel Messi.
