Zidane does not believe Neymar is deliberately trying to provoke the opposition, though, and feels the Brazilian is just doing his own thing.
“I cannot watch inside Neymar’s head, but I don’t think it’s a provocation,” Zidane said at a news conference.
“Everyone interprets football as they see fit and he interprets it his way. And he does things that not many players can do.
“I don’t see it as him provoking [his opponents].”
