Neymar caught insulting referee in Flamengo v Santos, avoids red card | OneFootball

Neymar insulted the referee, but did not receive a red card and remained on the field

Some say that refereeing always favors Flamengo. However, the match against Santos this Sunday (09) proves the opposite. That’s because Neymar cursed at referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio, calling him ‘shit’, but was not sent off at Maracanã during the 33rd round of the Brasileirão.

— He got Brazão. Brazão was on the ball and he gives me the f***ing yellow? Hey, why can’t I talk to you? Hey, you’re a shit — said Neymar, according to lip reading by voice actor Gustavo Machado.

What happened in Flamengo vs Santos?

Neymar ‘complained’ because he believed Flamengo’s goal only happened due to an uncalled foul on goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão. However, the play had nothing to do with the goal, and thus, Léo Pereira’s goal was validated.

Thus, Neymar threw a tantrum and called Sávio ‘shit’. On the way to halftime, Santos’ number 10 said the referee was arrogant and weak. The player, however, did nothing with the ball on the field.

What is Santos’ next match?

With Neymar, Santos tries to escape the relegation zone at Vila Belmiro against Palmeiras. A win could help Flamengo, who want to overtake the team in green in points in the Brasileirão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Keeping an eye on the standings, Flamengo will take the field during the FIFA break to face Sport. Next Saturday (15), the teams meet at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Pernambuco, in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Sport match.
