Pointed out by many as a Palmeiras fan in his childhood (there's even a photo of him wearing the rival's green jersey), not even Neymar could hold back after the scandalous refereeing by Ramon Abatti Abel from Santa Catarina this Sunday (5), in the defeat of Tricolor to them at Morumbi, in the Brazilian Championship.
