Neymar He didn’t have a completely pleasant game with him. Saints this past night Although he scored a double that gave his team the victory against Vasco de Gama (2-1) and vindicated himself for this summer’s World Cup, the Brazilian experienced an unpleasant episode on the field of play. And it was with an old acquaintance.
We are talking about Thiago Mendes, a former Lyon player who already had his ups and downs with Neymar who was then (2020) playing for PSG. In a play in the first half, both players had a scuffle in which, in the end, the Vasco de Gama player gave a (slight) head blow to Neymar who fell to the ground. Old wounds that have not healed.
At half-time, before going to the locker room, Neymar looked very angry and told the media: “He’s always generating controversy, he acts macho, it’s always the same. With all due respect, he’s an idiot. He injured me once at PSG and he promised to do it again today,” Neymar said before extending the lead in the 61st minute.
