Santos suffered a 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama, prompting supporters to protest at the club's CT Rei Pele training facilities in Baixada Santista. Neymar met and listened to the angry fans at the training ground and was threatened with violence before telling the group that "[Santos] are trying to change things." Philippe Coutinho scored twice, leaving Santos 15th in the Brazilian Serie A table, and head coach Cléber Xavier was sacked after the defeat. Neymar described the result as the worst of his career, was overcome with emotion on the pitch, and called the performance "total s---."
[Santos] are trying to change things.
I'm ashamed. I'm totally disappointed with our performance. The fans have every right to protest, obviously without using violence ... But if they want to curse and insult, they're in their right,
It's a feeling of extreme shame. I've never experienced this in my life. Unfortunately, it happened. The tears were from anger, from everything. Unfortunately, I can't help in every way. Anyway, it was total s---, that's the reality.
