The encounter turned personal as Neymar headed for the tunnel, singling out a specific supporter to mock their physical appearance while fiercely defending his own commitment.<\/p>\n
Infuriated by accusations of being “spoiled”, Neymar fired back at the heckler: “You should have trained more. You’re getting chubby! You’re right… are you happy now? Am I spoiled? I’m giving my absolute all out here. I’m going to give you your minute of fame.”<\/p>\n
While acknowledging the fans’ right to be frustrated, the Brazilian insisted that the line had been crossed. “I only complained, I didn’t argue, I retorted to the fan about the way he spoke to me,” he said. “I understand fans who criticize our game, but when it becomes personal, when he attacks in a different way, I can’t accept it. I can’t accept it because I’m a very consistent guy, I give my life for football, for this club, I even do more than I should, so I can’t be treated this way.”<\/p>\n
He concluded by drawing a firm line between his professional and private life: “I’m not talking about not criticizing me regarding my performance on the field, but I won’t accept criticism off the field. The fans are upset with the draw, especially against a team like Recoleta, but we’re also upset; it felt more like a defeat. That’s it, we have to lift our heads and move on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The encounter turned personal as Neymar headed for the tunnel, singling out a specific supporter to mock their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[187024,85,46,77585,187023,77584,187025,25548,105],"class_list":["post-393157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-copa-sudamericana","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-neymar","tag-recoleta","tag-santos-fc","tag-santos-fc-vs-recoleta","tag-serie-a","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393157","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=393157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
