“Came back just to play in the second division.” Flamengo fans boo and insult Neymar
In the 33rd round of the Brazilian Série A, Flamengo defeated Santos 3–2, but the match was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving Neymar.
Details: With the score at 3–0 against Santos, Neymar was seen leaving the pitch, prompting Flamengo supporters to jeer the Brazilian star and hurl insults his way.
Quote: “Neymar, f**k off! You came back to Santos only to play in the second division!” chanted the Flamengo fans.
Indeed, Santos are currently 17th in the Série A standings, sitting in the relegation zone. They are two points behind 16th place and must make up that gap in their remaining six matches of the season.
Reminder: Brazil’s national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti has urged Neymar to change his position on the field to help him rediscover his best form.
