JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar was caught on camera celebrating in Sao Paulo ahead of Brazil's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Tuesday.

The Brazil international missed the duel due to an adductor injury. However, after the match, the Brazilian sporting event 'Os donos da bola' released footage of Neymar partying in Sao Paulo.

"With adductor pain, you can play," said Neto, the show's presenter regretting Neymar's attitude.

"With muscle pain, you can play. With metatarsal problems, you can play. (If) I break mine, and that allows me to play.

"But anyone with adductor pain or muscle pain doesn't dance like that."

Neymar against criticism

Just three weeks ago Neymar slammed those who criticized his life off the pitch without focusing on his performances on the pitch.

"I talk about respect because people say 'Ah, Neymar doesn't take care of himself, Neymar is this, Neymar is that,'" he said in an interview with Fuir Clear YouTube channel.

"How can you be at the top for 12 years without taking care of yourself? Nobody understands.

"I know how to take care of myself. I have a physiotherapist and fitness coach with me practically 24 hours a day. For what, for no reason?

"I quit when I could. I quit when I could when I knew I wasn't going to train the next day. I wasn't going to stop doing anything. What's the problem?

"You have to criticize me for what I do on the pitch. There I allow you to speak. But not for what I do off the pitch."
