Neymar<\/strong> is once again at the center of controversy<\/strong> both on and off the pitch in recent days. Playing at Vila Belmiro<\/strong>, the stadium where he grew up and became a star, has turned into an uncomfortable setting when results don’t go Santos<\/strong>‘ way.<\/p>\n A few days ago, he was involved in an argument with a fan, and this Sunday, after the loss to Fluminense<\/strong>, he was sent off the field to loud boos<\/strong>. The Brazilian responded with a gesture that did not go unnoticed: he covered his ears while heading to the locker room.<\/p>\n The image quickly went viral on social media<\/strong>, and the player didn’t take long to react. On his personal X (Twitter)<\/strong> account, Neymar wrote: “The day has come when I have to explain scratching my ear! Honestly, people are going too far and crossing the line… It’s very sad to have to deal with this. No human being can handle it.”<\/p>\n However, his explanation has been interpreted by some as an attempt to avoid responsibility. The first boos<\/strong> at Vila Belmiro<\/strong> came after a failed rainbow flick at a moment when Santos<\/strong> was pushing for an equalizer, and they intensified at the final whistle. Clearly frustrated, Neymar<\/strong> was the first to leave the pitch, leaving behind a gesture that further ignited the fans.<\/p>\n In addition, the player responded to a post from TNT Sports<\/strong> that included the video of the moment with an even stronger message: “I walked off covering my ear, what the hell! Can’t I even scratch my ear now? Screw you, you crappy admin!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNeymar responds to boos and sparks another controversy<\/h2>\n
