(VIDEO) The controversial Neymar Jr video that enraged all of Santos

Neymar Jr. is once again at the centre of controversy. While still recovering from a muscle injury that has kept him off the pitch for a month, the Brazilian star has sparked outrage at Santos due to a video that quickly went viral on social media.

In the footage, Neymar can be seen dancing with renowned Brazilian singer Ludmilla, a scene that did not sit well with Peixe fans. The main criticism is that he is not demonstrating the discipline and commitment expected in the final stages of his rehabilitation, something that has already been a concern within the club.

Neymar’s return to Santos had raised huge expectations among supporters, who were eager to see him lead the team once again. However, his constant absences due to injury and now this off-pitch incident have rapidly tested the patience of the fans.

The video emerged at a particularly inopportune moment. Neymar was absent from Santos' elimination against Corinthians in the semi-finals of the Paulistao, a crushing blow for the team. He also missed the club’s opening match in the Brasileirao, where Peixe suffered a 2-1 defeat against Vasco da Gama. For many fans, seeing him enjoying himself off the pitch while the team struggles was the last straw.

Social media was flooded with criticism directed at the forward, with many supporters questioning his professionalism and commitment to the club. Some are even calling for the board to take action, as they believe his attitude does not reflect that of a player who should be fully focused on his return.

So far, Neymar has not made any statements regarding the issue, nor has the club released an official position. However, if the situation continues, tensions could rise further. Santos trusted in his return, and the fans expected to see him shine, but incidents like this only create more uncertainty about his future at the club.

A return that is not going as expected

What initially seemed like a dream for Santos fans is turning into a problem. Neymar came back as the team's biggest star, yet his current situation is far from what was anticipated. Between injuries, controversies, and criticism, his comeback to the club where he began his football career is not going as planned. Time will tell whether he can turn things around and regain the affection of the supporter.
