Neymar: 'I can't be a winger who makes side passes'

Brazilian star Neymar, who plays for Santos, gave a remarkable response to criticism about his style of play.

Stating that he brings color to the game, Neymar said: "I don't want to be a winger who takes the ball and makes sideways passes left and right. If I'm that kind of player, take me off the pitch and replace me with someone else. I don't want to be that kind of player."

The 34-year-old has scored 4 goals and 3 assists in 8 appearances for Santos this season.
