On the 114th anniversary of Santos Futebol Clube, Neymar argued with fans at Vila Belmiro this Tuesday (14).
After the 1-1 draw against Recoleta’s reserves from Paraguay, in the second round of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana group stage, the star wearing the No. 10 shirt was getting ready to give an interview when he told a fan to shut up.
"We made mistakes. We all made mistakes. It happens. I think we created a lot, we played well, we didn’t play badly. The fans get nervous, ask us to play more, but our team is playing, creating chances. I understand the fans’ frustration, but they have to know football is like that, and sometimes the ball just doesn’t go in."
As the argument continued, Neymar asked whether the fan was happy and whether he (Neymar) was spoiled.
"You should have trained more. You’re a little chubby (laughs)," said the forward, who continued.
"You’re right… happy now? Am I spoiled? I’m giving my life here. I’ll give you a minute of fame," Neymar said as he approached the fan.
Finally, as he left the field toward the tunnel leading to the locker room, Neymar was booed and insulted by Santos fans.
Still during the match, Gabriel Barbosa also "suffered" from the fury of Peixe fans.
