Brazil's Neymar warns Dunga: I'm not willing to get used to bench role

Neymar made a late appearance for Brazil on Saturday.

Brazil star Neymar has warned coach Dunga that he is not willing to accept a role on the bench after his side beat Costa Rica 1-0 in their first game since the Copa America.

Barcelona star Neymar only appeared as a late substitute but there were lively performances by Douglas Costa and debutant Lucas Lima as Hulk's 10th-minute goal sealed a win.

However, the 23-year-old was not happy despite having only recently recovered from a bout of mumps.

"Being benched is not something I'm used to and I'm not willing to get used to it," he told ESPN Brasil. "I want to play and I'm always working to be amongst the starting XI."

Kaka also made his return to the national team, appearing for the first time since October as a second-half substitute.
