Belgium defender Vincent Kompany he was focusing on their upcoming game with Brazil and not thinking about Brazil forward Neymar’s behavior on the pitch.
Neymar has been criticised by the media and experts for falling on the ground too often in alleged pain following contact with opposition players.
“I am not thinking about Neymar and what he is doing," Kompany said.
"In fact I only think about how we will play with Brazil, about how we will play as a team, our tactics for the upcoming game and how to fulfill our task. I am not reflecting on other things."
The Brazilian star has been the subject of social media mirth for his alleged tendency to hit the deck at every opportunity.
