New slip-up from Neymar in Brazil. The player’s behavior continues to attract criticism and in particular raises questions about his future with the Brazilian selection, headed by Carlo Ancelotti. The situation became more complicated last Sunday during the match between Santos and Flamengo (3-2 defeat).
It all started with a surprising statement at halftime.
“The team has to stay calm and look for me more in the last 30 meters. It’s the only way to score a goal.”he told journalists. On the pitch, the former Parisian also stood out for his heated exchanges with the referee and his signs of annoyance towards his teammates.
These behaviors have not escaped former Brazilian player Neto. “While you Santos fans think this guy is going to save the club… You are going to be relegated to Serie B because of him and the president. It’s Neymar’s fault, you bunch of adulators.”he castigated.
“Shit journalist”
But Neymar didn’t stop there. On social networks, under a publication by Globo Esporte Evoking his attitude during the match, the top scorer in the history of the Seleção reacted strongly. “Another lie invented by a shitty journalist”he wrote.
Since his departure from PSG, Neymar seems far from his best level. His participation in the 2026 World Cup looks uncertain, Carlo Ancelotti having reminded that no preferential treatment would be granted. To be selected, the Brazilian will have to prove that he is in great shape and physically ready.
