Neymar failed to perform well for Brazil, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw against Venezuela. The 31-year-old seemed to be out of form, missing several key scoring chances. Despite his poor showing, his countrymen still cheered for him, but one of the Venezuelan fans displayed a disrespectful act towards the Brazilian superstar. Soon afterward, Neymar came forward to condemn the act of the fan.

According to the Al-Hilal star, the fan should understand the effort each player puts into a match. He further reinforced that after all these efforts, things may not turn out in their favor, and that’s the nature of the sport. Neymar was deeply disappointed by the act of the fan, and he chose to lash out at the Venezuelan.

Neymar lashed out at the Venezuelan fan for misbehaving

The Al-Hilal star faced a challenging match against Venezuela, as he failed to score and attract the attention of the fans. The first half of the match saw no goals, but when the game reached the 50th minute, Arsenal’s defender, Gabriel Magalhaes, broke the deadlock. However, the opposite team’s Eduard Bello equalized the score with an impressive goal in the 85th minute. This prevented Brazil from achieving a glorious victory against Venezuela.

During the game, the Brazilian crowd appreciated their team’s effort even after it ended in a tie. However, things took an unexpected turn when a Venezuelan behaved inappropriately with Neymar. As the Al-Hilal star made his way to the locker room after the match, this fan threw a popcorn bag at him. Neymar was shocked and paused to react on the spot, but was then quickly escorted away. Neymar was the last one to leave Arena Pantanal, as he had to undergo an anti-doping test. While leaving the arena, Neymar lashed out at the fan for misbehaving in a brief interview.

As reported by globo.com he said, “ It’s sad, obviously it’s very sad, I don’t come here on vacation, much less to go for a walk, I came to do what I love most, which is to play football and defend my country… This fan threw it… I didn’t even see what it was, I only saw it when it hit me, I got really nervous, I condemn that kind of attitude, you don’t have to do it, it’s very bad for football, for human beings.” Later, Neymar mentioned that if someone can act like this towards another human, he lacks education. During the interview, the 31-year-old mentioned his take on the game against Venezuela.

The unexpected nature of the sport

Recently, Neymar welcomed his new baby girl with his girlfriend Bruna Biancardi. Ney flew from Al-Hilal to Brazil to meet the new addition to his family and soon resumed his international duty. Many believed that the Brazilian was going to amaze the fans with his splendid performance on his outing against Venezuela. However, the fans were highly disappointed when the match ended in a draw.

I don’t think we played badly; we tried, we looked, we tried to create opportunities, and we got some.” During the further conversation, Neymar appreciated the goalkeeper of Venezuela, who did an excellent job. He later mentioned how the opposite team could find the ball and equalize the score, which was unfortunate. However, the Al-Hilal star is confident about bouncing back after fixing things they lack.
