Ramzy: 'Neymar must play for the team'

Egypt boss Hany Ramzy believes that Brazil striker Neymar "needs to play more for the team" following Egypt's 3-2 defeat to the Selecao on Thursday.

The 19-year-old, who scored in his country's opening game of the 2012 Olympics, has also been deemed 'selfish' by the veteran boss.

"I think for sure he'll make a high living, but I think Neymar needs to play more for the team," Ramzy told reporters.

"Sometimes I have the feeling that he just plays for himself, just to show himself that he's a big talent. I think he's young and he's going to learn this and he could play more for the team."

Brazil face Belarus on Sunday, while Egypt take on New Zealand.
