After two months of absence, Neymar started on Sunday with Santos, during the match against Flamengo, during the 33rd day of the Brazilian championship. A not really winning comeback since his team lost (3-2).
On an individual level, the Auriverde international stood out. However, not in the best way. Exasperated by the long play of his teammates, the former Paris Saint-Germain star notably crossed the entire field to kick… a six-meter. At half-time, he also allowed himself to openly criticize the referee.
“In addition to being bad, and with all due respect, he is arrogant. Every time they go to the locker room, they say that only the captain has the right to speak. When we try to talk to him, he turns his back on us and runs away. When I talk to him, he threatens us. The arrogance of the referee today, whose name I don’t even know, is unacceptable,” Neymar got carried away TNT Sports.
Neymar, a career at a standstill
Released during the second period, the native of Mogi das Cruzes is only a shadow of himself. Now aged 33, the number 10 sees his chances of playing in the 2026 World Cup with the Seleção melting like snow in the sun.
“He didn’t do anything in the match, damn it, reacted former Brazilian international Neto. You just ran in circles on the field. You went to Formula 1 (to attend the Brazilian GP), you met the drivers there, you started and you didn’t play. It’s a shame to play football (like that). » As if that wasn’t enough, Santos is now relegated.
