Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari believes there is a conspiracy afoot! The 2002 World Cup winner is certain that the Spanish press are deliberately trying to unsettle Brazil and Barcelona star Neymar ahead of this summer’s tournament in his home country because everything that happens is obviously a conspiracy.
Neymar led Brazil to a convincing 3-0 win over 2010 World Cup winners Spain in last summer’s Confederations Cup final before joining Barcelona this season. In Scolari’s mind, this must have made the Spanish press nervous about their country’s chances of retaining their title, so they devised an elaborate plot that actually ended up hurting Barcelona more than it did Neymar. Though the 22-year-old has played well during his first season in La
Liga, the club was hit with its first major scandal of the campaign when the details of Neymar’s transfer (and his father’s profitable involvement) came under scrutiny, leading to charges of tax fraud as club president Sandro Rosell resigned despite denying any wrongdoing. Elsewhere in fun Scolari quotes, Big Phil also says that his players will only be allowed to engage in non-acrobatic sex during the World Cup. Perhaps the Spanish press will try to lure Neymar into bedroom acrobatics, too. Previous 2014 World Cup conspiracy theory: How the tournament’s groups were really chosen – Yahoo Sports
