Tite, Brazil boss: Any coach who plays Neymar on the wing is a donkey

Tite won't listen to criticism of

as a central player. He says that any coach who puts his star player on the wing is "a donkey."

is one of the favorites to win the 2022 World Cup.

Some people think that the

superstar has lost his spark since he was moved inside from the flanks, where he played with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at Barcelona. As a result, talk of a transfer has started up again.

He plays in the middle of the field for

France

, with Messi and

Kylian Mbappe

on either side. For Brazil, he plays as a central No. 10 and has scored 74 goals for the

Selecao

. Tite is sure that Neymar should be in the middle of any attacking unit he is a part of. He doesn't care about how well he keeps the ball because his whole game is about trying to make things happen.

The coach of Brazil said on the podcast Sextra Estrela, "He's not a problem, he's a solution. "People say that Neymar will mess up more when he plays there. But his position makes him make more mistakes because there, everything he does creatively will be important."

Tite went on to say, "I will call a coach a donkey if he puts Neymar on the wing. It makes it much harder for a player with these qualities to be creative.

"Creativity isn't something that stays the same; it changes depending on the situation. Yes, he will make more mistakes because he is needed for his creativity."
