Neymar slips up on social networks

After the controversial statements of a Brazilian journalist, Neymar lost his temper on social networks.

Small setback for Brazil. While it remained on two consecutive successes in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, against Bolivia (5-1) and Peru (1-0), the Seleçao was hooked on Friday, at home, by Venezuela (1-1). A draw which generated much criticism towards Fernando Diniz’s men.

“This guy is an asshole, a braggart…”

In the Auriverde show Donos da Bola, presenter Neto even went too far by asking Brazilian fans to urinate on the players after their poor performance. Scandalous comments which did not fail to make Neymar react. “This guy is an asshole, a braggart…” wrote the Al-Hilal attacker on social networks.

“I don’t come here on vacation”

It must also be said that, as is often the case, Neymar was the main target after the draw for the five-time world champions. The former Parisian notably received a box of popcorn on his head, thrown by a spectator, as he took the tunnel to reach the locker room after the final whistle.

“It’s very sad, I don’t come here on vacation, I came to do what I love the most: play football and defend my country, he explained in comments relayed by RMC Sport. This fan threw… I didn’t even see what it was, I only saw it when it hit me. »
