Neymar vows to persist with dribbling despite being told to 'respect his opponents'

Barcelona and Brazil forward Neymar has said he will continue to show off his skills on the pitch even if his showboating upsets opponents. 

The forward had to be substituted during Brazil's 5-0 win over Bolivia last week after being elbowed in the face by Yasmani Duk having attempted to pass the ball through the striker's legs.

Duk said after the game that Neymar had to learn how to 'respect his opponents'.

'I'm definitely not going to change, players have to know that when they face me that I have my own way of playing and that is dribbling, scoring goals and helping my team mates,' Neymar said on Thursday. 

'I'm happy playing that way and if they don't like it there's nothing I can do.' Duk saying after the game that Neymar had to learn how to 'respect his opponents'
