Arthur comes out in defence of Neymar

"The facts have been cleared up. Lies don't get you very far. The more people speak, the worse it will be. It is what she wanted, to get an audience, give interviews to TV and radio stations and get more followers on Instagram," Arthur said. 

Arthur, who is with the Brazil squad to play in the Copa America, assured that "the controversial news gets more following." The important thing is that we are all with Neymar," he added. 

The injury Neymar picked up against Qatar has left him out of the tournament. Willian will be his substitute. In the meantime, he is fighting to clear his name. 

The Brazilian was accused of raping a Brazilian model in Paris. The model went to a Sao Paulo police station to testify, but she ended up fainting in front of the judge.
