Neymar He dressed as a hero and a villain this Wednesday by scoring a goal for the Saints and then commit a penalty that allowed the Mirasol take a point from the Vila Belmiro stadium, on the 34th day of the Brazilian Championship. The striker put the Albinegro team ahead in the 4th minute by completing a counterattack that arose from a corner kick from the rival, and also deprived his team of winning.
Furthermore, the former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player set off alarm bells after receiving medical attention after poor foot support that left him in shock. Since returning to Pelé’s club in January, where he trained, the number 10 has not reached his best version due in part to his constant physical problems, which have kept him out for more than 100 days this season.
Neymar retired with physical problems
This Wednesday, in front of 14,317 Santista fans, he played 90 minutes and offered some glimpses of the world star he was in the past. However, at the start of the second half, ‘Ney’ arrived late for a cut and tripped Reinaldo inside the area. The referee didn’t see anything, but the VAR called him to order and declared a penalty. Reinaldo himself was in charge of converting the maximum penalty and returning equality to the scoreboard.
