Luisão blames world star, ex-Benfica man hits back: Only a stain... | OneFootball

Luisão did not hold back in criticizing Neymar Jr's recent actions. The former captain and legendary figure of Benfica believes that the Brazilian star behaved very poorly towards the Santos coach when he decided to substitute him in the final minutes of the match against Flamengo.

After holding several roles within the Eagles' structure, the former number 4 is now a commentator on ESPN and did not like the attitude of the former captain of the Brazilian national team at all. “I understand, but nobody put a gun to his head to make him come play for Santos,” Luisão began on the show Resenha.

“He said he came because he wanted to and signed his contract. So, the least he can do is respect the Santos jersey, those who play alongside him, those who train with him, and the fans,” continued the former Benfica player, criticizing Neymar’s behavior.

The fact that Neymar ignored the coach during the substitution and headed straight to the locker room did not sit well with his compatriot, who felt that Neymar was only hurting himself: “It’s not by doing these kinds of things that he thinks he’ll earn respect. It only tarnishes his image.”
