Brazil Football Legend, Ronaldo has opted to defend his countryman Neymar who has been heavily criticised at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Ronaldo has described criticism of Neymar as "nonsense" adding that the PSG forward does not get enough in terms of cover from the referee which he truly deserves.

After Brazil defeated Mexico 2-0 in the round of 16, Mexico Coach Juan Carlos Osorio accused Neymar of "too much acting".

But Ronaldo disagrees as he said:

"There are many ways to see football and interpret it.

"I am against all these opinions (on Neymar acting). He is an intelligent player in his movements and on how to defend himself from being tackled.

"I don't think referees have been protecting him enough. When people repeatedly hit me I would feel a sense of unfairness.

"Criticism is nonsense. TV shows and newspapers just want to fill the space." Ronaldo said.
