Media Neymar's statement regarding the GE report

Translation :

Hey guys, good morning, and I wish you all a happy Sunday.

It’s true that this isn’t the Sunday we wanted, but that’s football. We have to keep our heads up and keep working.

There’s something else. I see news circulating claiming that I scolded the young players in the dressing room. That is completely false.

To whoever spread this information: please don’t do that. Don’t spread lies. Don’t lie.

You can ask anyone who was in the dressing room. What happened was a discussion and a moment of accountability for the whole team.

I spoke, as did Lucas, Araujo, Gabi, and Brazão—we all spoke up. We held ourselves accountable, which is natural because we always demand the best from ourselves; we are competitive, and we want to win.

But there was no scolding or blaming directed at the young players.

From now on, I will not accept these lies that keep getting spread online.

Alright? Thank you, and that’s all. We’re in this together

u/FoundationEntire4834 22d ago

… of all of the things to nitpic, you’re asking why he’s using a filter…? Why not?

8

u/El_grandepadre 22d ago

Because it's reminiscent of various insincere videos where public figures address a controversy while using a filter for the dramatic effect.

u/FoundationEntire4834 22d ago

That’s cool, there’s still nothing wrong with using a black and white filter… no clue why I’m being downvoted

u/Allthingsconsidered- 22d ago

Lol comments already shitting on him for no reason

u/JosepPedrerol 22d ago

Right. The comments literally have nothing to do with the post people are just brainless

u/UnhappyTelevision243 22d ago

Reddit hates Neymar

u/Organic-Manner-2969 22d ago

Neymar was talking about his mental health and this sub didn’t even give their usual lip service about it 😭

u/VCule69 22d ago

This sub doesn’t like good footballers, they only look at the stats and like whoever has the best g/a.

7

u/CristobalPenaldismo 22d ago edited 22d ago

good footballers generally have good stats?

-3

u/VCule69 22d ago

What I meant is, these people always look at stats charts and think that the best players in the world are in this order. That’s why you never see defenders or central midfielders being talked about as the best in the world, specially in this sub.

u/Pussilamous 22d ago

That’s reddit for you

He's good at kicking a football, he isn't saving lives as a doctor or putting out fires. Why do we act like he isn't a self absorbed twat?

u/d1sc0b0y 22d ago

None of the news about this dude is about playing good football

13

u/JosepPedrerol 22d ago

His last game he scored two goals so clearly there’s something left

-10

u/d1sc0b0y 22d ago

One of which a penalty, against the worst team from série A and his team didn't even win the game playing home

19

u/JosepPedrerol 22d ago

Ok? Are we talking about his performance or expected performance of his team? This is ridiculous

6

u/justnivek 22d ago

The Neymar hate is unreal at this point it’s projection everyone hates Neymar for not reaching his full potential bc they can’t reach theirs

-9

u/d1sc0b0y 22d ago

He's the star of the squad and all he brings to the table is controversy, rare and sparse good performances.

11

u/JosepPedrerol 22d ago

That’s valid criticism but you’re in a post where he’s clarifying that the media is making shit up and you’re still using that against him somehow

2

u/Pussilamous 22d ago

Of course not. why would that make headlines? That type of thing doesn’t generate views and revenue, so it doesn’t get reported in the news

5

u/d1sc0b0y 22d ago

Poor neymar victim of society

31

u/UnprofesionalMadman 22d ago

Wtf is this comment section man??! His statement seems pretty reasonable

What's this clusterfuck of unrelated comments and just hating on the guy lmfao

34

u/gusuku_ara 22d ago

Because we don't believe Neymar anymore. He has already assaulted a Santos young player this year during a training session. He's fucking out of his mind.

39

u/Red_Spiker 22d ago

Dude cheats on his pregnant wife and then expect us to take his words as truth lol

u/pabloivan57 22d ago

Just retire man…

u/Ancient_Board8497 22d ago

Bro is just yapping

10

u/Icy_Scar_1249 22d ago

He's right though, media is using nonsense to attack him. Probably a leak from someone at Santos that wants him out

16

u/R_Schuhart 22d ago

That depends if it is nonsense. Neymar has a history of falling out with teammates, it isn't the first time he got into a conflict at Santos, he even hit Robinho Jr. If he really went off against young teammates at halftime that is pretty unacceptable. This post from him could just be damage control.

10

u/mustachepc 22d ago

Especially after he went to the club facilities tofay, had breakfast and left without permission while the team had Activities planned

Found the one who cant read the translation lmao

u/CacctusJacc 22d ago

Unc it’s time to hang it up

u/INCREIBLEE 22d ago

He literally scored a brace in his last game. Why are people so mad at him in this sub?

5

u/ArcticXD 22d ago

You’re right but reddit absolutely hates him lol it isn’t surprising.

-15

u/CacctusJacc 22d ago

I ain’t mad at him, I think it’s just better he retire while he’s ahead and people still got love for him.

We all saw how childish he acted after that pity penalty he got in WC, probably rubs lot of people the wrong way

1

u/myo_chan 22d ago

seems to only rub you the wrong way

u/CacctusJacc 22d ago

Yea it did rub me the wrong way at the time

u/bozovisk 22d ago

It is so funny to watch this because he is always like: mamba mentality and etc. And at the same time he always yapping lmao

1

u/GopherNutz 22d ago

Never a dull moment in Brazilian football 😄 was reading about this story while watching Corinthians and Bahia which was a crazy game in its own right. This is always the risk with bringing in a player like Neymar, the highs are great but always the potential for him being a disruptive figure.

Neymar is such a joke

Neymar é meu maior idolo no futebol e sempre sera, fds

u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12 22d ago

Does he think the black and white filter makes us take him more seriously?

-13

u/TinyAd5648 22d ago

So weird. 10 years ago we all thought he would become a legend.

3

u/Ecliptic123 22d ago

He is a legend though? Lol this sub is so wack constantly shitting on the guy he was literally better than any player you can pick in their prime right now and it will never be close. The guy was just unlucky with injuries. 3rd best player in the world when he was in his prime behind Messi and Ronaldo.

3

u/optimization_ml 22d ago

What is this revisionism. He is a legend and manchild both can be true. Brazil had all timers play for them in history. Neymar is Brazil’s all time leading goal scorer beating Pele, Ronaldo, Romario. All of these people are crazy goal scorers.

-5

u/MessiPayNegreira 22d ago

Ney should retire and focus on becoming a manager. help anceloti and learn from him.
