ROSTOV-ON-DON, RUSSIA - JUNE 17: Neymar Jr of Brazil looks on during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group E match between Brazil and Switzerland at Rostov Arena on June 17, 2018 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

For at least the ninth or tenth time in his playing career, Neymar has a new hairstyle.

The latest haircut features a long, curly, and bleached fringe on top, a skin fade on the sides, and an intricate design shaved into the rear.

And, like many of Neymar's previous hairstyles, this one drew playful mockery on social media:

Shame to see Neymar resorting to copying hairstyles from the unforgettable and world class talent Abel Xavier #BRA #worldcup pic.twitter.com/mc4pymtgWb

Ouch.

Well, at least the in-game version looks better than it did during training earlier this week:
