Alves calls for Neymar respect: "He is a very sensitive boy"

Dani Alves never bites his tongue. Whether it's good or not. In this case, he didn't hesitate in speaking favourably about Neymar and speaking about his personality.

"Despite all that is thought of him, Neymar is a boy. He is a very sensitive person who is affected by many things, and sometimes by unfair things", the full back said.

Alves is the striker's older brother and wants him to react to external encouragement: "That's why I often ask him to position himself, because when they say things that aren't true, like Casagrande (a journalist who once criticised the Brazilian) or whoever, you have to position yourself".

Lastly, he asked for people to respect the PSG forward and underlined his importance to Brazil: "People have to start learning to respect Neymar as a player for the Brazilian national team, a lot of people don't do that. He's as historic as so many other players and there are a lot of people who don't respect him".
