Brazil coach Tite admits that Neymar needs more time in order to play to his full potential in the remainder of the World Cup.

Brazil boss Tite has insisted that Neymar needs more time to find his top form at the World Cup, despite netting in his side's 2-0 win over Costa Rica on Friday.

Philippe Coutinho scored a stoppage-time goal to steal the three points for Brazil, before Neymar chipped in with his first goal of the tournament in the dying seconds of the game.

The Group E clash marked Neymar's fourth game since returning from his metatarsal injury at the end of last season, and Tite believes that the Paris Saint-Germain winger can still improve during Brazil's remaining fixtures.

"He is resuming a process," Tite told reporters after the game.

"He played the full match. He is a human being, he needs some time to resume his high standard. Before then there is a team that has to be strong and not depend on him."

Brazil, who are top of their World Cup group on four points, will play their final group-stage fixture against Serbia on Wednesday.
