Now the whole world is ROLLING AROUND on the floor laughing at ‘great actor’ Neymar
AND CANTONA LEADS THE WAY IN A MOCKING VIDEO
ERIC CANTONA has trolled Neymar by depicting him as a spinning suitcase in a video skit.
The Manchester United legend joined the wave of ridicule directed at the Brazil striker for his theatrics.
Neymar rolled around on the ground and screamed when Mexico’s Miguel Layun stood on his ankle.
It seemed deliberate by Layun, but Neymar’s reaction was over the top. Cantona responded by posting a video which portrayed Neymar as a cabin-sized four wheel case. Lifting the yellow bag onto a table, Cantona – in his role as Commissioner of Football for Eurosport – said: “This is my new luggage. I call it Neymar.
“Not because of the colour but mainly because of this,” he added before spinning the case and looking in amazement. “You barely touch it and it turns round for hours and hours.
“By the way Neymar, you are a great player– and a great actor. But be careful with the continuity mistakes.
“If you are hit in your right shoulder you can’t be crying in pain holding your left
cheek.” Cantona then held his face and cried. Neymar scored the opener in the last-16 showdown and set up Roberto Firmino to seal a 2-0 win. But he angered many with his antics following the spat with Layun.
Ref Gianluca Rocchi saw nothing to warrant a card, but Neymar’s writhing around caused a fourminute delay.
That angered Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio, who slammed Neymar for “fake fouls” and blamed the histrionics for disrupting his team’s rhythm as they tried to save the game. Cantona mocked Neymar after Brazil’s opener with Switzerland. His Instagram page had a photo of the Frenchman with a plate of spaghetti on his head and the caption “Neymar style” in reference to the Brazilian’s haircut.
Layun said: “This is football. If he doesn’t want to be touched he should try doing something else.”
