Cuca dealt Neymar blow for Flamengo v Santos in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

What did Cuca, Santos’ coach, say about the card Neymar received?

Neymar will be unavailable for Santos in the match against Flamengo after receiving his third yellow card. Given the situation, Cuca, coach of the team from Baixada Santista, lamented losing the player for this Sunday’s (05) clash, in the 10th round of the Brasileirão.

— I think that if you look at the play, he gets poked from behind by one player, then another. In the heat of the moment, it could have been handled with a bit more understanding, but the referee wanted to act differently. He might not have needed to get that card. It would have been an important game for him against Flamengo, but that doesn’t make it any less important for us —, he said, before concluding:

— It’s a shame to lose Neymar. It happened right next to me. It could have been managed differently. He is a very important player. In two flashes, he put two teammates one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He is very important for us —, Cuca concluded in a press conference this Thursday (02).
