In every single tournament Neymar has played in the past three years with Brazil, he tends to lose his cool with the players who keep fouling him and sometimes he gets sent-off. This is seen as a sign of being immature by many Brazil former players, Juninho Pernambucano is one of the many former internationals who thinks that if Neymar manages to control that side of him, Brazil will have a shot at winning the Gold Medal in Rio this August.
Juninho called for Neymar to grab a little bit of humbleness and cold head to confront the obstacles during every match, because all the rest of the teams will go after him in every chance they get. It's up to Neymar himself to react in the best possible way and not let trivial things like those, tamper with his country's aspirations in this tournament. This is the ultimate test for Neymar.
Talking to Omnisport, Juninho said: "Neymar is a different player, I think he is unique. When the ball lands on his foot everybody expect a goal. He is decisive on the national team. He must have extra emotional control, because he knows his importance on the Selecao. The team feels the difference and know how important Neymar is. So, Neymar: he is unique, but needs an emotional control. I believe that Brazil can win the Olympics 2016 with his help. I think Brazil has great players and they can bring the dream of the victory."
