Neymar Will Not Get Used to Being a Substitute for Brazil
Brazil forward Neymar has expressed his unwillingness to remain a substitute for Brazil in the future after getting only 10 minutes of action in his country's 1-0 win over Costa Rica on Saturday.
"Being benched is not something I'm used to and I'm not willing to get used to it," Neymar told ESPN. "I want to play and I'm always working to be amongst the starting XI."
Selecao manager Dunga benched Neymar after the striker suffered an injury scare in training in the days prior to the match, but the Barcelona star clearly wasn't happy with his place among the substitutes.
