Vampeta, a former Brazilian international, revealed he received messages from Neymar in which the Paris Saint-Germain player directed criticisms at him. The former midfielder for Corinthians and the Brazilian national team showed the messages on social media, where Neymar could be seen saying that Vampeta was "losing respect" and making negative comments about him.
The former player responded to the star's criticisms immediately, also using social media to clarify the situation. Vampeta had previously criticized Neymar, which apparently motivated the player to contact him directly to express his displeasure with the statements made by the former footballer.
The message exchange between the two generated great repercussions in Brazil, with the relationship between former players and the current generation of Brazilian football stars being debated once again. Vampeta, known for his irreverent style, did not hesitate to publicly expose the conversation with Neymar.
This episode is part of a series of criticisms that Vampeta has made over time against players of the Brazilian national team, maintaining a frequently provocative stance towards the younger athletes on the national team.
