However, the actions of the opposition fans did not go down well with the Brazilian head coach, who bashed their disappointing gestures toward Neymar.

Brazil grabbed the short end of the stick as they had to settle with a draw against Venezuela at full-time. The home team was in the driving seat for most of the game, but a lapse in judgment and a sensational strike from Eduard Bello ensured the game ended in a draw.

Fernando Diniz hits back at unruly fans for their actions against Neymar

Brazil’s manager, Fernando Diniz, was frustrated with the actions of fans following the game. Neymar, who was returning to the dressing room, was subject to abuse from the fans who tossed a bag of popcorn at him while he was entering the tunnel. Neymar quickly retaliated as he was ushered out to the back.

Diniz mentioned the incident during his press conference following the game. The Brazilian head coach was disappointed at the action of the fans, quoting that they should not be disrespectful to the players.

“I completely disapprove. Cursing and booing are fine. Throwing a bag of popcorn doesn’t do anyone any good. It’s disrespectful to those who came to play and tried to do their best – said the coach when asked about the attitude.” (Compiled by Globo | Translated using DeepL)

Brazilian manager backs his side despite disappointing outcome

Brazil, who was the favorite to bag the win over Venezuela, was hit with a major setback, as they were forced to share points at the sound of the final whistle. While the Selecao found the opening goal of the game, their opposition equalized in the dying minutes of the game to finish things at 1-1.

Brazilian head coach Fernando Diniz touched down on his team’s performance as he backed his side despite the poor result. During his press conference, the manager claimed that the players gave their best despite the outcome.

“I think we failed in two aspects. At the end of the moves, we created chances and didn’t score. We could have scored the second, the third, or the fourth. We gave away counter-attacks we shouldn’t have. And in the Venezuelan goal, we failed to do something we shouldn’t have done. Adjusting the marking and giving the opposition the chance to finish. But the team didn’t have a bad match. We just didn’t finish well. The players are feeling the heat and the difficulty of the pitch.” (Compiled by Globo | Translated using DeepL)
