| Copa America 2024: Neymar Displeased with Vinicius Jr’s Substitution Against Costa Rica |
Brazilian striker, Neymar Jr, was visibly upset when Vinicius Junior was taken off during their match against Costa Rica.
The Selecao's first game in the 2024 Copa America ended in a goalless draw on Monday evening.
Despite being one of the favorites before the tournament, they couldn't score in the Group D debut match.
Brazil was in control of the game, taking 19 shots at goal, but couldn't break the deadlock.
In an attempt to change the game in the last 20 minutes, Selecao coach, Dorival Junior, substituted Vinicius for the young prodigy, Endrick.
This move puzzled Neymar, the nation's top scorer, who showed his astonishment by gesturing with his arms.
At 32 years old, Neymar was passionately involved, despite an ACL injury sustained during World Cup qualifiers in October 2023 preventing him from competing for the Copa America title.
