James Rodriguez has praised Neymar ahead of Colombia’s must-win match against Brazil in the Copa America on Wednesday. Colombia lost their first game against Venezuela, so need a win to have any realistic chance of qualifying for the competition’s second round.
Rodriguez said: “The match against Brazil will be more open than that against Venezuela. We must not see the match as revenge [for Colombia’s World Cup defeat to Brazil]. We must not think like that. Neymar is at an incredible level, but the Brazilians will have to be good to hope to win against us."
