The Brazilian press doesn't forgive. Grin

This time Neymar didn't have the same luck he had in the game against Flamengo. Honestly, I don't know how Flamengo conceded a goal from this guy, but fortunately, Flamengo won today, but they remain in second place, while Cruzeiro, who also won, remains at the top of the table. It's true that Flamengo still has a game to play, but I have no doubts that Cruzeiro is fighting for the title and if they maintain this performance until one round later, they could win the title. Unfortunately, Flamengo's defeat to Santos greatly harmed the fight for the title.

Neymar is currently more focused on his real estate ventures than on playing football. I was reading in the news that he owns over 120 properties in Brazil, most of them in coastal regions. In other words, he has billion-dollar investments. That’s a lot of money. I think sports no longer really have much meaning in his life. With so many things to manage and so much money to spend, I believe football has taken a back seat. It seems like he's just having fun now, like any of us would play football on the weekend with friends, nothing more than that. No bigger ambitions.

The sad part of all this is that the guy said he loves Santos. I remember this interview and I went to look for any English channel that had reported this and I found it.

But he sits at home while other Santos players who make every effort don't get much attention. And this guy shows up, scores a goal against Flamengo, and becomes a hero. He's on every TV channel and even on Fabrizio Romano's pages. As if he'd done something great. When they lost the last game, I saw a Portuguese newspaper where it said he complained about his teammates. I don't know why Santos' management is spending money on him. At first, I thought that since he's so famous, he would attract sponsors to Santos, but the expenses with his salary don't seem worth it.

I know there are still many wheels for the league to finish and that there are teams with games left, but at this moment Cruzeiro is being seen as the strongest candidate to win the league
