Santos fans slam Neymar’s behaviour against Flamengo | OneFootball

The night of last Sunday was not good for Neymar and company. At Maracanã, Santos was defeated by Flamengo 3-2 and remained in the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship. The number 10 of Peixe was involved in controversial moments during the match, such as when he reported a supposed threat from referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio at halftime.

In a poll conducted by Gazeta Esportiva, 69.32% of fans believe that the athlete's behavior was unacceptable, while 21.02% consider it exaggerated. Another 6.82% found it understandable. Finally, 2.84% evaluated it as normal.

Neymar started as a starter after being rested against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque. The forward recently returned from injury and, by decision of Juan Pablo Vojvoda's technical staff, did not play the full 90 minutes.

At 40 minutes into the second half, he was substituted by Benjamín Rollheiser and left the field visibly irritated. Upon reaching the bench, he kicked a cup of water – the liquid splashed on some teammates – and then went straight to the locker room, without staying with the group.

Curiously, after the number 10's departure, Santos reacted and scored two goals, reducing the score. In the current season, Neymar has played 23 matches, with six goals and three assists.
