Corruption case a complication for Neymar, says Brazil coach

London : Spain’s public prosecutor last week called for Neymar to be sent to prison for two years for his part in the fraud case.
It comes after a complaint by Brazilian investment group, DIS, which owned 40 percent of Neymar’s transfer rights and alleges it received less money than it was entitled to because Barcelona concealed the real transfer fee.“It’s a lie to say that he (Neymar) is coming to work and leaving all his problems off the field,” Tite told Reuters in an exclusive interview. “Yes, it is going to have an influence and he is going to need a group of people to advise him.
“There’s no way to disassociate (the two), it is going to depend on the capacity of the people around him to tell him to ‘stay calm’,” Tite added.
Altamiro Bezerra, CEO of Neymar’s company, told Reuters on Wednesday that they were “very relaxed” because there was “nothing new” in the latest court filing to reopen the case. Barca said this month that if the trial went ahead the club would defend the innocence of all those being investigated.
