BELO HORIZONTE, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Uruguay defender Diego Godin has accused Brazil striker Neymar of serial diving ahead of Wednesday's Confederations Cup semifinal between the South American rivals.
Neymar has scored in each of Brazil's victories over Japan, Mexico and Italy during the group phase of the World Cup warmup tournament.
Godin, who will be among those charged by Celeste coach Oscar Tabarez to curb the 21-year-old at the Mineirao stadium, admitted the task was one of football's toughest.
"Neymar is a player who is uNPRedictable, one of the best in the world," the Atletico Madrid centre-back said. "He is fast, dribbles and scores lots of goals. I just hope that he doesn't dive so much. He always makes the most of minimal contact to win a free-kick."
Godin said his team's heralded strike force - which includes Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, could ill afford to waste goalscoring chances against Brazil's miserly defence.
"We have to make the most of the chances that come our way," the 27-year-old said. "It's going to be special to play Brazil in such an important match, and even more so in front of their own fans. It will be like a final for us."
