Playing at Vila Belmiro, the stadium where Santos grew up and became a star, was an uncomfortable environment for Santos as he was unable to get the results he wanted.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Neymar responds to boos, sparks new controversy<\/h2>\n<p>A few days ago, he got into an argument with a fan, and this Sunday he was sent off the field to loud boos after the defeat to Fluminense. The Brazilian responded with an unnoticed gesture, covering his ears as he headed to the locker room.<\/p>\n<p>The image quickly went viral on social media, and players were quick to react. Neymar wrote on his X (Twitter) account: &#8220;The day has come when I have to explain that I&#8217;m scratching my ears! To be honest, people have gone too far and crossed the line&#8230; It&#8217;s so sad that we have to deal with this. No human being can bear it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But some interpret his explanation as an attempt to avoid responsibility. The first boos at Vila Belmiro came after Santos&#8217; rainbow flick failed to equalize. When the final whistle rang, the boos got even louder. Clearly frustrated, Neymar was the first to leave the pitch, leaving behind a gesture that further excited the fans.<\/p>\n<p>He then responded to a TNT Sports post that posted a video of the moment with an even stronger message: &#8220;What the hell are you talking about, you just covered your ears and walked away! Can&#8217;t you even scratch your ears now? You suck, you stupid admin!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/2026\/04\/20\/69e5cc9a268e3e00098b4575.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent days, Neymar has once again been at the center of controversy both on and off the pitch.
