How do you rate Neymar’s behaviour during the Flamengo v Santos clash? | OneFootball

Last Sunday night was not a good one for Neymar and company. At Maracanã, Santos ended up defeated by Flamengo 3-2 and remained in the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship. The number 10 of Peixe was at the center of some controversial moments during the match, such as when he reported at halftime an alleged threat from referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio.

Neymar started as a starter after being rested against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque. The forward recently returned from injury and, by decision of Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s coaching staff, did not play the full 90 minutes.

At 40 minutes into the second half, he was substituted by Benjamín Rollheiser and left the field visibly irritated. Upon reaching the bench, he kicked a cup of water—the liquid even splashed on some teammates—and then went straight to the locker room, without staying with the group.

Curiously, after the number 10 left, Santos reacted and scored two goals, narrowing the score. In the current season, Neymar has played 23 matches, with six goals and three assists.
