The forward claimed he was unfairly targeted despite being the victim of repeated fouls throughout the contest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always the same,&#8221; Neymar told SporTV. &#8220;It&#8217;s unfair. I suffered a foul from behind, unnecessarily, at the end of the game. It wasn&#8217;t the first time. It was the third or fourth. I just went to complain to him. I said, &#8216;Are you crazy?&#8217; I already got a yellow card. Anyway, Savio is like that. I think he woke up a bit, as they say, in a bad mood, and came into the game like that. You couldn&#8217;t even talk to him without him ignoring you, turning his back on you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the kind of referee who wants to be the star of the game, who has a great lack of respect for all the players. It wasn&#8217;t just with me. It was with the Remo players too. He doesn&#8217;t want to talk, he doesn&#8217;t want to converse. This has to improve. He&#8217;s the guy who&#8217;s in charge of the game, who has to command everything. And sometimes we&#8217;ll complain, as is football, we&#8217;ll ask why, question. He needs to know how to handle that. If he handles it that way, it becomes very unpleasant, very disrespectful.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neymar did not hold back in his assessment of the official, suggesting that the referee&#8217;s attitude made communication&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,77585,153268,77584,179031,25548,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-372881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-neymar","11":"tag-remo","12":"tag-santos-fc","13":"tag-santos-fc-vs-remo","14":"tag-serie-a","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
