Arsene Wenger: Neymar ‘will do what he wants’

The Paris Saint-Germain forward produced an underwhelming display as Brazil drew 1-1 with Switzerland in their opening Group E clash at the World Cup. Philippe Coutinho scored a long-range wonder strike in the 20th minute but Steven Zuber equalised just after half-time and Switzerland were able to hold on for a point. Neymar struggled to make an impact but missed a chance to score . Former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger believes Neymar will be difficult to control. ‘Maybe because every player is now a star. For example, Neymar is the superstar. This guy has 170m followers. ‘Even if I am captain of Neymar, he’ll do what he wants.’ Thiago Silva and Miranda started at the back for Brazil but Wenger believes Marquinhos is the superior defender. ‘Miranda and Thiago Silva are both over 30… Marquinhos is individually better, but he has less experience,’ Wenger said. ‘When the pressure is on, that is very important. ‘Thiago Silva is good on the ball, Miranda is a bit more basic, but he is the better defender.’
