Neymar and Unzue clashed during a training session.The argument escalated with Lucho’s assistant telling Neymar he needs to concentrate on his football to fulfil his potential or risk going backwards.

The foward was told to “focus on his football” by a member of Barcelona’s coaching staff amid a disagreement with assistant manager Juan Carlos Unzue.

according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, with Unzue “said to have made a few tactical points to Neymar that led to a rising tone over the disagreement,” at which point another member of staff “felt it necessary to intervene.”

However Neymar remained unhappy about the argument, reeling off a lengthy response with much attention paid to the incident in the dressing room after the session.

The incident took place ahead of Barcelona’s 4-1 victory over Villarreal, in which Neymar scored and produced an outstanding performance.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Samuel Umtiti and Ivan Rakitic have also had past problems with Unzue.
