SAO PAULO: Ahead of his 100th game with Brazil, Neymar is adamant that he still deserves special treatment in the national team despite never having won a major title in his nine years wearing the famous yellow shirt.

The 27-year-old forward defended his status as the team’s biggest star even though Brazil won this summer’s Copa America without him.
