Belletti attained cult status during his three seasons in the Premier League due to his diligent, hard-working performances and occasional penchant for sublime goals.
Belletti said: “Neymar criticized by fans? It’s because he’s young. He’s a child, and that’s normal. The best Brazilian players all the same: They are happy when they play football, and opposition don’t like it. He’ll mature? Possibly. In Brazil, footballers play with smile on their faces. It’s not the same in Spain.”
