Brazilian soccer star Neymar cried after his team lost 0-6 against Vasco Da Gama on Sunday. He said it was the worst loss of his entire career. The terrible loss happened in a very important Brazilian Serie A game. It has sent shockwaves across the league and put Santos, his team, in a very bad spot.
Neymar fell to the ground after the final whistle, clearly upset and needing to be comforted by members of the support crew and even Vasco’s head coach, Fernando Diniz. Fans showed their anger by turning their backs on the squad as the former Barcelona player slowly walked off the field, clearly in pain.
Neymar didn’t hold back in an honest and passionate interview after the game. “I’m sorry. He said, “I’m very disappointed with how we did.” “It’s a very bad feeling of shame.” I’ve never been through this before. Sadly, that happened. The tears came from being mad, from everything. Anyway, it was all crap, that’s the truth.
Lucas Piton of Vasco da Gama scored the first goal, and Phil Coutinho, a former Liverpool player, scored two more. David Correa De Fonseca, Rayan, and Danilo Neves all scored goals to keep the attack going. This amazing win moved Vasco out of the relegation zone.
Santos had to deal with the effects of the loss right away and they were serious. The club’s management fired coach Cléber Xavier barely a few hours after the setback. Neymar got his third yellow card of the season during the game, which is bad news for the squad because he will now miss Santos’ next game against Bahia.
The setback, which is the worst of Neymar’s long career, has put Santos in a desperate fight to stay in the league, just two points above the relegation zone.
