Dunga: Neymar has to win WC

New Brazil boss Dunga has warned Neymar that to be at the top of the game, he has to win the World Cup.

The Barcelona youngster was seen as the face of the tournament this summer, with the competition being played in his home country.

However, following an injury against Colombia, he watched as the Selecao were thrashed 7-1 to Germany in the semi-final.

But the new man in charge has insisted that the superstar has to forget that and lift the trophy to be seen as one of the game’s greats.

“To have star status, you have to have world champion credentials on your back,” Dunga told Epoca Magazine.

“But we are going to work to make sure that when he's with the Seleçao, Neymar performs above the level that defines a star.”
