As the world cup in Qatar draws closer Brazil head coach Tite has accused Tunisian defender Dylan Bronn of intentionally attempting to injury Neymar during a friendly between the two sides ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Tite made the stern comments in a fiery affair staged at Neymar's club home of the Parc des Princes, the Selecao ran out 5-1 winners over their North African opponents but it was incidents outside of play that captured attention.

After 41 minutes. with Brazil already in a comfortable 4-1 lead, Neymar was cynically brought down by defender Dylan Bronn, with the referee not hesitating in immediately sending the Salernitana star off.

Tite expressed his disappointment in the way the Tunisian players had conducted themselves during the friendly, and also insinuated that the challenge on Neymar had been an attempt to injure the 30-year-old ahead of the World Cup.

The international friendly was also marred by a racist incident directed at Richarlison, the Spurs star had put his country 2-1 up in the first half, and whilst celebrating was pelted with a number of objects from the crowd including a banana.
