- The penalty thing with Neymar is in the past. We don't need to all be friends or be like a family. The most important thing is that everybody is professional and gives 100 percent. Outside of that, everybody has their own life and their own way of thinking.
- It is true that there was a problem at that time with Neymar. We spoke about it together - I told him that I was the first to want him to win things individually. However, I told him there was a condition and that was that he must put the squad's collective objectives first. I am a footballing worker - I am not a star. If I have teammates who can win individual accolades, then I will do everything to help them. They must put the team's goals first, though. Gradually, we have come to an understanding. The team's superiors have taken a decision and I have respected it. The supporters whistling, this was not good for him. If I was in his position there, it sincerely would not have pleased me.
