Angry Neymar after fight with Semedo during the training session,the boy can't simply handle the pressure.

Messi is widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time, and if he ever gets angry in training or on the football pitch, he lets his feet do the talking.
This is the difference between Messi and Neymar, who should have taken his anger out on Semedo by scoring a goal, not squaring up to him and shouting abuse.
In his 2014 autobiography '#2sides', Rio Ferdinand recalled a story Thierry Henry once told him about how Messi reacted to not getting a free-kick in Barcelona training after being fouled.
Messi was angry, but rather than lose his cool with the culprit, he demanded the ball from his goalkeeper, beat every player on the opposition team and scored.
Here's what Ferdinand wrote, as per Henry's words:
"So when the ball went back to his goalkeeper, he ran back and demanded the ball. The goalkeeper rolled him the ball, and Messi then proceeded to run through the entire team and score in anger."
At that moment, Henry realised the difference between Messi and everyone else - including Neymar - and why he's arguably football's greatest.
