Neymar’s return to the Boyood Club Santos has not been exactly the house he or the fans dreamed.
Although there have been visits to its undeniable brightness, the comeback has been marked by recurring injuries, red cards and a series of poor results. Santos has won only four of his 16 series games this season, and the mood around the club is growing.
After their last mishap: a 2-1 defeat before international that kept them anchored in the area of relegation, the tensions were boiled. Neymar was facing a fan on the stands in a heated exchange in the final whistle.

He had already interacted with the fans during the second half, but after the game, he returned to the same place, where a verbal clash exploded with a particularly vocal critic. Words were exchanged, said their fingers, and frustrated before Neymar was far removed by a teammate.
Santos’s last defeat leaves the 17th at the table and is in relegation problems.
For Neymar, this turbulent chapter is far from the triumphant return he foreseen when he signed until 2025, and both he and the club run out of time to give it things.
