Neymar admits diving ("jumping") and says he's not ashamed

http://sportv.globo.com/site/programas/sportv-news/noticia/2012/07/neymar-nao-reclama-mas-diz-que-para-fugir-das-faltas-violenta-pula.html

- The "kicks" [tackles] are coming very violently. When I notice that they are vicious, I jump and dive. I am not ashamed to say it. Then it's up to the ref to interpret it as a foul o not. I don't complain about anything, I jump to defend myself. I don't want to get hurt. - said the player.

He also said that his hardest game so far was the 2011 Libertadores Final against Peñarol, in which he had to avoid both the marking from Uruguayans and the ref who wasn't very nice towards.

- I did a nutmeg, and then the opponent hit me on a area that hurts a lot. I didn't fall asking for a foul (...). He [the ref] ended up giving me a yellow card and from then on he started to threaten me.

Kindah agree, but then again we have Messi, who doesn't dive even when he's kicked in every game,

































































but then again we have Divenaldo, Dive Maria and Pepe, what's their excuse?

Diving is part of the game whether we like it or not so players are not going to be ashamed even if it is a shameful act. As long as they can get away with it there will be no shame.

diving is an art, not a shame okay?
imagine the amount of entertainment that busque brought to us...sure, it's sometimes *bleep* up, but football is not the same in the modern world without diving

Well he should be ashamed.

The player most booked for diving this season in La Liga was none other than Leo Messi.

And if I recall correctly none of them were dives

Now you will bring up the sociedad one where there exist a clear contact

Messi needs to learn from Ronaldo how to dive without getting a yellow..

I mean how didnt the ref give him a yellow for this?



The last one is so pathetic that even the commentator laughs

And yet Messi gets a yellow for this..



Messi falls down easily, but there exist contact where as those 2 from Ronaldo has no contact whatsoever and yet he gets no yellow!

Dude has Busquets and Alves in training but you want him to waste time looking at youtube vids?...he sees the real deal everyday in practice.

Dude, even they dive less than ronaldo AND thats saying something

even then, they dive outside the penalty area/own half meaning its alot harder to get a yellow card. Thats not something Messi needs to learn, he needs to learn how to not get a yellow when he "dives" inside the penalty area which Di Maria, Ronaldo heck even Özil have mastered while I am not sure if Busquets or Dani Alves have mastered that part of diving just yet

You don't know what you're talking about , Ronaldo occasionally dives but even even Pepe dives more than him for us.

You're basing your opinion on what he was 5 years ago.

... Want me to dig up youtube videos of him diving for you? Its pretty easy. All I have to do is check unknowngenius01 channel And belive me there are lots of dives

Since we live in the era where isolated youtube vids mean everything go ahead man . He gets a bad rep for diving occasionally when there are guys in football who act as if they got shot every time they're touched.

I can pull up youtube vids of him making a nice pass or dribbling past a defender does that make him a great passer or dribbler? No it doesn't, it means he did something once.

Watch the games, when he's fouled he normally just gets back and complains.

Diving is not for Messi. He feels shame there and admits it immediately... look at other divers they act like it was real, some act like they shot by gun

Spoiler:

Everyone bar the last one are from this season and most of them from 2012.
Belive me there are ALOT more dives to show of examples, its just that I got bored of posting them.

--

billionmillion, Messi dives as well. Its just that for for every dive that he makes, there exist 100 examples of him staying on his feet.

Neymar topic becomes Messi vs CR7 in 1 post.

Barca and Madrid fans should be ostracized from the forum

Messi dives so less that people only can find his diving which happened 7 years ago. and still no clear dive found. wait 2 more years maybe you will capture that moment
