RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL) (ITALPRESS) – A key figure on and off the pitch. Decisive with an assist in Santos’ 2-0 victory over Remo and a superb performance, Neymar was booked in the closing stages after another foul, for a rude attack on an opponent.
A serious yellow card will mean he will miss the match against Flamengo. Post-match, the former Barcelona and PSG player took issue with referee Savio: “This card is unfair. I was tackled in a dangerous manner; it wasn’t my first, but my third or fourth. I went to protest and got a yellow. Savio is like that; he woke up in a bad mood; he wants to be the star of the match.”
However, Neymar used the phrase “acordou de chico,” a Portuguese expression that associates menstruation with something dirty and has clear sexist connotations. Hence the controversy that has put the player at the center of debate on social media and in the media.
