Neymar makes big backstage revelation about Flamengo v Santos match | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated Santos 3-2 on November 9

Santos managed to ‘escape’ relegation in the Brasileirão this Sunday (07), after a 3-0 victory over Cruzeiro. Playing through pain, Neymar gave an interview after the match and revealed that he needed psychological help after the game against Flamengo at Maracanã.

— It was very difficult these last few weeks, I took a lot of hits. After the game against Flamengo, they went overboard with the fouls. When it’s me, they always cross the line — he said, before concluding:

— I confess it was the first time I asked for psychological help, my emotions hit rock bottom, and I didn’t have the strength to get back up on my own. I admit I’m very strong emotionally, I can take a lot of hits, but this time I couldn’t handle it. It was tough — Neymar concluded, in an interview with ‘GE TV’.

What happened in the Flamengo vs Santos match?

Flamengo and Santos faced each other on November 9, at Maracanã, for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. Filipe Luís’ team came out on top with a 3-2 win, with goals from Bruno Henrique, Carrascal, and Léo Pereira. In addition, Lautaro Díaz and Bontempo scored for the visitors.

Thus, Neymar started for Santos in the match, but had a ‘lackluster’ performance. Besides complaining to his teammates throughout the game, the number 10 also showed his frustration with the refereeing. Finally, when he was substituted, the player did not like the decision and went straight to the locker room.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on winning another title in 2025. This Wednesday (10), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruz Azul (MEX) at 2pm (Brasília time), in the first match of the Intercontinental Cup.
