Mexico's midfielder has raised the temperature ahead of an all-Americas clash by suggesting his rival is fond of going to the ground
Andres Guardado has called on the referee to watch Neymar closely when Mexico take on Brazil in the World Cup last 16 because he "likes to exaggerate fouls".
Neymar thought he had won Brazil a penalty in the 2-0 victory over Costa Rica last week, but the decision was overruled with the help of VAR, referee Bjorn Kuipers instead deeming it a dive.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward also drew criticism for his reaction to a strong challenge from Adem Ljajic in the Selecao's victory over Serbia.
