Neymar Exploded After Santos’ Elimination From the Copa Do Brasil

Neymar exploded after Santos' elimination from the Copa do Brasil and pointed directly at the state of the Vila Belmiro field.

Santos eliminated and Neymar's anger

Santos was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil after drawing 0-0 in the return leg of the quarter-finals against Palmeiras, a result insufficient to overturn the 0-3 suffered in the first leg. Neymar Jr. did not hesitate to express his anger and pointed directly at the state of the Vila Belmiro pitch.

The explosive message on social media

The Brazilian star, visibly upset, wrote a message that generated immediate repercussions: "I wanted to congratulate our field manager at Vila Belmiro. Yesterday was the worst field we've had, full of holes because they did decompaction the day before the match. UNBELIEVABLE!"

Neymar didn't stop there and added: "Besides playing against the opponent, we played against the field. And on top of that we had to put in more effort in the starts and the runs because the field was uneven. It's no coincidence that three players felt discomfort in the first half."

Among those affected footballers was Neymar himself, who revealed that he felt discomfort in his thigh and that he will undergo medical tests in the coming hours.

Controversy and immediate future

The message ended with an ironic and offensive tone toward the person responsible for the grass, making the player's anger clear for what he considered a determining factor in the elimination. The post sparked a debate among fans and experts, who discussed whether the poor condition of the field can justify a performance below expectations in a decisive moment.
