“At the end of the match, I went down closer to the pitch, where the players were. I was eating popcorn and when Neymar arrived near the tunnel, I called him. I screamed, but he didn’t even turn around in my direction. I threw the bag at him, not to tell him he had played badly, but to get his attention. It looks like I did this out of malice, but that’s not the case. I’m a fan of his, I love his football, I didn’t want to hurt him, I just wanted him to turn to the stand.”confided the Brazilian fan.
