Barcelona forward Neymar has insisted he will not change his style after being embroiled in angry scenes against Athletic Bilbao over showboating.
With Barca 3-1 up in the latter stages of the Copa Del Rey final at the Camp Nou, Neymar had scored his team’s second goal, attempted to flick the ball over the head of Unai Bustinza by the corner flag before being fouled. The Athletic players were incensed by a move they considered disrespectful, and the Brazil international was confronted by several opposition players. Neymar said: “This is football, in football these things happen. It is incredible. They can get angry, but that is my style of play, and I have been playing like that for many years. I will not change my style of play due to what other players think.”
