It is an image for eternity. One that is making the rounds on the internet. World Cup 2018, Switzerland – Brazil, the Brazilian noble technician Neymar is lying on the ground, writhing in pain. Nati player Valon Behrami stands next to him, looking down at the theatrical performance from above with a smug smile. The Swiss never lets the star player out of his sight in the 1-1 draw and never allows him to develop. An iconic image. Another fact is also extraordinary: Neymar has holes in his cuffs. It is not his opponent, hungry moths or faulty production that is responsible for this, but rather he himself.
