The former Brazil star told The Observer that the Seleção must give their all against Germany, to honour the injured Neymar’s previous performances at this World Cup.
Zico said: “Above all, the Brazilian players have a chance to draw energy from Neymar’s sacrifice. He has been tremendous for them in the last four years and they owe him a performance full of heart and fight on Tuesday.
“They need to leave their souls on the pitch as a tribute for this kid whose dreams have been shattered because of one horrific tackle.”
