Santos star Neymar is still recovering from the injury he sustained a month ago. However, the forward continues to support his team off the pitch, showing up in the stands of the home stadium to cheer on his teammates. He shared a video of himself doing just that in his Instagram story.
Neymar posted a short video showing him watching the match from the stands. He captioned it, “Let’s go, my fish,” referencing Santos’ nickname—“The Fish.”
Even with Neymar’s backing, though, Santos couldn’t secure a victory. In their home fixture, they failed to overcome Ceara, with the match ending in a goalless 0-0 draw.
Santos' situation in the league table remains dire—the team sits in 19th place, second from bottom, after eight rounds. The Fish have managed to collect just five points, with only one win to their name so far. No doubt, one of the main reasons for this poor run is the absence of their leader, Neymar, who is still struggling to recover from injury.
On a positive note, the Brazilian has already started individual training and is expected to return to the pitch soon, aiming to help his boyhood club climb out of the relegation zone.
