Digitalvedant449912 Jul, 2021Sport
Brazil head coach Tite has praised superstar Neymar for his show of sportsmanship to Lionel Messi after his side?s 1-0 Copa America final defeat to Argentina on Saturday. Neymar?s Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Angel Di Maria scored the winner in the 22nd minute at the Maracana as Argentina lifted its first Copa since 1993 as Brazil relinquished the crown they won in 2019. The Brazil boss was clearly disappointed with the result but spoke positively about Neymar?s grace after acknowledging Messi?s achievement in winning his maiden piece of silverware with Argentina. The superstar pair are close friends from their four years together at Barcelona. ?There is greatness in defeat and in recognising the rival,? Tite said. ?Perhaps, the image that was seen between Messi and Neymar after the game is a message that we have to give.?
