Neymar expressed his shame and disappointment following Santos' 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama, a loss that resulted in the sacking of head coach Cleber Xavier. Philippe Coutinho scored twice as Vasco dominated, scoring five goals in a short span during the second half. This defeat left Santos close to relegation. Fans protested by turning their backs on the pitch. Neymar, visibly upset, emphasized the need for reflection on the team's performance, stating it was shameful to represent Santos in such a manner.
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.
To sum up our attitude on the field, it was terrible. I've never experienced this in my life. The tears were from anger, from everything.
It's a shame to play like that wearing the Santos jersey. I think everyone today needs to lay their head on their pillow, go home, and think about what they want to do.
With today's attitude, if we have to do what we did today on the field, I don't think we even need to show up on Wednesday.
