Brazilian football team captain, Neymar, was involved in a bitter clash with a Bolivia defender, Yasmani Duk, during a World Cup Qualifying match on Thursday, as his head was pictured in blood on the football pitch.
For several hours now, Duk who has been in the headlines after catching Neymar in the face with a blow which caused a gash on his eyebrow to bleed heavily, is refusing to apologise after elbowing Neymar, and demands that the Barcelona forward stops his 'Charlie Big B******* behaviour'.
According to Dailymail Sports, many sections of the media accused the 28-year-old of being over-aggressive but the player has justified his actions as part and parcel of the game, and even found time to take a swipe at the Barcelona man.
'Neymar was being a bit too cocky - he was like that with all of us throughout the game, but all I was trying to do was cut off a move - which is what happens all the time in football.
'Everyone knows the sport has its physical side - I had my nose broken and no-one says a word.

'To become the best player in the world, he's got to stop this "Charlie Big B*******" behaviour and start showing some respect for his opponents,'Duk told AS.
Despite the rough treatment aimed towards him, Neymar has been urged to show more 'maturity'by Brazil boss Tite after picking up a needless booking that will keep him out of their next World Cup qualifier against Venezuela on Wednesday
