Neymar’s night against Mirassol was a nightmare. The Peixe lost 3-0, and the best player didn’t play well. Clashing with the supporters during the game and displaying his rage when a journalist asked him about his fitness following the press duel.
Neymar had to witness the other side of the coin in Santos’ crushing and decisive 3-0 loss to Mirassol, just a few days after he was the hero in the triumph against Flamengo with an absolutely amazing goal. The ‘Peixe’ were obviously outplayed by their opponents, and the Mogi das Cruzes player did not play at his best.
The star’s frustration was evoked by this combo, leaving behind a number of the most remarked photographs. The first of these occurred following a brawl with the spectators after the team had already taken a 2-0 lead. As Santos chased the ball in front of Mirassol’s passes, the crowd, celebrating their team’s victory and yelling “ole,” was silenced by Neymar. Additionally, he gestured to the home crowd with his hands, suggesting that they were unimportant. As if that weren’t enough, Neymar also experienced mixed emotions during a post-match interview with a journalist from “Record,” who asked him about his level of fitness.
“This again? I’ve responded to it three hundred times already. The score was 3-0 since we didn’t have anything on the pitch,” responded, Neymar. He added that they did not play half as well as they did against Flamengo. He will undoubtedly want to forget this game as quickly as possible.
