Fed up with Neymar

Once hailed as the “returned son”, Neymar has now become the focus of division in the Santos dressing room.

What happened in Santos’ loss to Flamengo was just the last straw in a relationship that was slowly rotting. In that defeat, Neymar complained about everything from his teammates’ mistakes to the way coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda managed the tactics.

When he was substituted in the 85th minute, the former Barca and PSG star reacted violently, unable to believe he was taken off the field. At that moment, Neymar's image was no longer a symbol of Santos' pride, but the burden of a star who could not accept that his glory days were behind him.

According to Globo Esporte , many players felt offended by Neymar's attitude. The board of directors also began to lose patience. They saw Neymar's performance lackluster, only appearing in 15 matches and missing 17 matches in the Brazilian Serie A due to injury. Patience was running out, although the club still decided not to discipline him after the incident.

Neymar is said to have apologized, blaming the referee. But that apology did not ease the feeling of injustice in the team. The player who led Santos to the Copa Libertadores in 2011 is now causing the same team to struggle with relegation.

Santos brought Neymar back in the hope of rekindling their former glory. Instead, they got an unstable, explosive and uncontrollable star. In the midst of a crisis, Vojvoda needed unity, not a name that would further divide the dressing room.

Neymar was once the pride of Santos. But at 33, with his form declining and his attitude questioned, that love is turning into fatigue. A reunion once painted with emotion is now ending in disappointment.
