Peter Schmeichel hammered Neymar for the acting game – and insists that the Brazilian should follow the example of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Schmeichel, a former goalkeeper from Denmark and Manchester United, was horrified by Neymar's antics in Brazil's 2-0 win over Mexico at Samara, earning them a quarter-final encounter with the United States. Belgium.

Neymar scored one and made the other for Liverpool star Roberto Firmino. But he was widely criticized for his theatricality after a clash with Mexican star Miguel Layun who straddled the Brazilian's ankle in a sideline.

Neymar was accused of "fake fouls" by the furious Mexican Juan Carlos Osorio in a rant against the PSG striker – and Schmeichel was not impressed either.

"It's boring to watch, as he tries to force the cards in. Looks like he was dying, I thought we'd put him on a stretcher, and then in a ambulance and that we would never see him again, "said the former guardian of Denmark and Old Trafford.

"Did you see Cristiano Ronaldo do that? Because he quickly learned when he was young at United."

Schmeichel also challenged FIFA to suppress the theaters of Neymar.

"My God, Neymar even won the best player award against Mexico, for me, FIFA should have seen how he behaved in the game. I can not find any other way to describe it as really unhappy.

"FIFA President Gianni Infantino was in the stadium – they have to watch what happened.

"I appeal to FIFA, it's not something we want to see in football, we have the VAR, we have to be spared from these simulations, it attracts so much attention and all children are watching.This is not good, this is not what we want in football ".

FC Porto star Layun was also raging and claims that Neymar spends more time on the ground than on his feet.

"A player of this level lives longer on the ground than standing, and it is complicated when the referees allow it," he said.

"I touched him a bit, because Neymar tried to block me when I got the ball, but I did not even look at him.

"The arbitrator told me that they reviewed the incident and saw that I did not intend to stand on him while I received the ball.

"I do not fear provocations, in the end it's football.If you do not want to be touched, then go do something else."
