Record of Neymar's "lost" time in the World Cup

When we talk about Brazil, we talk about Neymar and mentioning this star reminds us of the criticism he has received for the exaggeration of fouls in the four matches he played during the 2018 World Cup in Russia. A study revealed that Neymar has spent almost 14 minutes on the ground after the fouls that were called against him. How much time did he "lose" against Mexico?

The French TV channel RTS has counted a total of 13 minutes and 50 seconds that Neymar has caused to be lost in the four matches of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with the match against Mexico in the round of 16 registering the record with 5 minutes and 29 seconds.

According to this research, the longest halt in a match that Neymar has faced happened after the stomp by Miguel Layun in the second half of the Brazil vs. Mexico match in the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It was an interruption of almost 2 minutes that was heavily criticized because the player was off the field and the game could have continued, but the referee stopped it.

The time "lost" in the match against Mexico adds to 1 minute and 56 seconds against Serbia and 3 minutes and 40 seconds against Switzerland. In other words, the Brazilian star accumulated 13 minutes and 50 seconds on the ground. Quite a record for the "verdeamarelha" that is among the top eight in the world.

But what Neymar doesn't know is that all the lost time is recovered with the additional time given by the referee supported by the control of the company fivethirtyeight.com, which promptly sends its report to the match officials of each World Cup game and calculates the total time to be added. And everyone has complied with the measure.
