After Neymar's bad injury against Serbia, a game in which the Brazil player had to be subbed off and he could not hold back the tears on the bench, there have been a lot of media who have claimed that the PSG forward will not play again in the group stages.
However, neither Brazil nor Tite nor Neymar himself have confirmed his absence, and the manager has made it clear that he will be using him as soon as he recovers. But, in the mean time, 'Ney' is being victim to harsh criticism and abuse on social media.
Therefore, Raphinha has come out to defend his fellow Brazilian and teammate to talk to all the Brazilians who are treating Neymar so badly after his injury.
In a post on his official Instagram account, Raphinha wrote: "Argentina fans treat Messi like a God; Brazil fans hope Neymar breaks his leg. How sad. This country does not deserve his talent or football".
