Watch: Neymar throws teenager to the floor after being nutmegged in training

Weverton is seen putting the ball through the legs of the Paris St Germain star, who promptly drags the young right-back to the ground.

The footage has received a huge amount of attention on social media, with many users suggesting it indicates Neymar has attitude problems.

Despite the incident, Weverton, who plays for Brazilian club Cruzeiro, told his Instagram followers it was a “childhood dream” to meet Neymar and shared a photo of himself with his compatriot.

The video emerges just a day after Neymar, 27, was stripped of the Brazil national team’s captaincy, relinquishing the role to PSG team-mate Dani Alves.

Alves, 36, will lead Brazil in upcoming friendlies against Qatar and Honduras and at this summer’s Copa America in the country.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
