Neymar's father took on to social to vent his anger over the worldwide criticism of his son and Brazilian starfootballer Neymar Jr.
He shared a post on the photosharing website Instagram and called the critics as "people with vulture behaviour."
Neymar wastransferredlast summer to Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain for a world record 222 million euros.
His performance for PSG has been below the average till date since his arrival in the squad.
Recently he failed to score in the first leg of Champions League match against Real Madrid where PSG lost to Real Madrid 1-3 t St. Bernabeu.
A lot was expected of the terrific trioNeymar, Kylian Mbappe & Edinson Cavani, especially Neymar but he disappointed the fans as the fans and followers were hoping to win the contest and forget the 6-1 humiliation they suffered in Barcelona at the same stage of last year's Champions League.
Neymar's fatherNeymar Santos Sr. expressed his anger on social media to defendhis son.
He said, "In a "war" there are those who feed on victories and there are those who, like vultures, feed on the carrion of the defeated. They do nothing, they produce nothing, they live from the brilliance or, more often, from the difficult moments of their "prey".
He referred the people who are slamming Neymar's for his performance as vulture behaviourhe said, "In the world of football, we know many people with "vulture behaviour". Sometimes they take advantage of a strong microphone, a "player" career (we cannot call "athlete" someone with at least questionable behaviours of the lawns) without much brilliance, always the shadow of other more talented, to distil their frustrations."
"They take advantage of a defeat, a lost BATTLE, to lurk, waiting for defeat in the war, to feed their egos, as the vultures feed on carrion. They did not make it to the Rio Olympics, but they stayed there, waiting for the first opportunity, to bring their bad omen."
"But remember: We lost a battle, not war. The war of my son he "practices" from very young, always practising the good fight, always escaping from the vultures, always reborn even stronger! And, especially, respecting everyone, even the vultures ...We've lost a battle, about war, we'll see because it will last as long as it's on the grass.
And be sure ... like a phoenix, he will be reborn, prepared for all the fighting ahead! As for you, vulture, you will be hungry. And there will be nothing left to swallow his words, as rotten as carrion," he further added.
