😡 Should get a slap: Santos fans fume at Neymar & co | OneFootball

It was the biggest defeat in his career when Neymar and Santos were outclassed by relegation candidate Vasco da Gama over the weekend. The Brazilians lost 0:6 in front of over 50,000 fans at their home Estádio Urbano Caldeira.

Neymar broke down in tears afterward, as TV footage showed. His coach Cleber Xavier was dismissed immediately after the game. Managing director Alexandre Mattos also asked the fans for forgiveness after the defeat, as you can see here in the video.

However, the fans did not seem to have forgiven the team yet, as they protested around the Santos training ground on Tuesday and confronted the stars. In the middle of it all: Neymar Jr., who was directly confronted by a fan.

"What happened here today (the invasion) is nothing! Can I tell you something? You should get a slap in the face!" a member of a Santos fan group stated bluntly.

As the club had already anticipated protests, the management increased police presence.

The players, who had Monday off, returned to the training center on Tuesday to prepare for the next game. They were already on site when the fans gathered at the training ground.
