Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar seems to have supported Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison on Twitter amid controversy arising from his showboating against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the Premier League this past weekend.
Richarlison was in action for Tottenham against Forest and showed a nice piece of skill towards the end of the match.
The Brazil international forward has come under fire for showboating, with former Liverpool star and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher among those to criticise the ex-Everton ace.
Former Liverpool defensive midfielder Dietmar Hamann has also hammered Richarlison, who has responded to him on Twitter.
Neymar seems to support his Brazil international teammate, as you can see from his tweet below.

Did Richarlison do anything wrong?
In our opinion, Richarlison did nothing wrong with his showboating against Nottingham Forest.
Football is in part an entertainment business, and we need players like Richarlison showing skills like he did against Forest.
Yes, we love to see tackles flying in, but at the same time, skilful players like Neymar and Richarlison should be praised for their audacity to do some of the things that they do on the football pitch.
