    Brazil football coach Tite has warned his country not to heap too much responsibility on Neymar's shoulders after the forward was brought to tears following their 2-nil World Cup win over Costa Rica

    Brazil football coach Tite has warned his country not to heap too much responsibility on Neymar's shoulders after the forward was brought to tears following their 2-nil World Cup win over Costa Rica


    Brazil scored twice in stoppage time to move top of Group E, with Neymar netting the final goal.

    Neymar, who got involved in discussions with the referee and was awarded a penalty that was rescinded by the video assistant referee, looked emotionally frail throughout, often gesticulating and crashing to the ground when tackled.

    Tite said his Neymar's post-game reaction could be down to the huge pressure of leading the five-times world champions.

    Brazil's final group game is against Serbia on Thursday.
