Neymar commented on his behavior after the Brazil Championship match, in which Santos lost an International with a score of 1: 2. The attacker entered a verbal altercation with the fan, and later explained his reaction on social networks.

– In the heat of the game it is difficult to hold back when you are unfairly offended. I will never argue with a fan that criticizes me for a game. (…) But what he definitely has no right to do – it is to offend me the way he did, ”Neymar wrote on his Instagram.

According to the player, he was brought out of equilibrium personal images. – To call me a mercenary, to remember my father, family and friends … I’m sorry, but at such moments it is difficult to hold back emotions (even if I understand what I have to do), – added the football player.

In the match, Neymar scored a goal and celebrated it brightly, breaking the corner flag, but the gate did not count – the ball was still roling along the line, and the goalkeeper managed to cover it. After the game, a former teammate Gabriel Brazao tried to reassure the emotional attacker.

– I returned to Santos to help the club as best in the field and outside the field. And on the day when the fans will think that I no longer do the benefit or harm the club, I will first gather things and go, – summed up the best scorer in the history of the Brazil national team.

Earlier, Santos announced the continuation of the contract with Neimar.
