Neymar swears at his opponent.

On his return to the Brazilian national championship, Neymar was unable to help Santos avoid defeat against Fluminense on the morning of April 14th.

The former PSG star was on the bench and came on in the second half. He was immediately marked by Fluminense defender Samuel Xavier. The two had physical contact and exchanged words throughout the match.

Neymar was angry with Xavier.

In an incident in the 60th minute, Neymar collided with Xavier, leaving him on the ground. The former PSG star was furious at receiving a yellow card. He immediately approached Xavier and criticized him, saying, "You're a bastard," according to Globo .

In the 90+6th minute, Xavier scored the only goal, giving Fluminense a narrow 1-0 victory over Santos at home. After scoring, the defender put his hands to his ears and gestured towards Neymar, seemingly mocking the former PSG star.

After the match, Xavier was also named Man of the Match. Speaking about neutralizing Neymar in the game, Xavier said: "I can't comment on the conversation with Neymar. That's something that happened during the game; everyone wants to win, everyone defends their team. We had our own strategy, which included provoking a star like Neymar. After receiving the yellow card, he was very angry, to the point that he even chased after me with the ball. That was the strategy, and I'm very happy that it worked today."

For Neymar, the 33-year-old striker made his first appearance in the Brazilian league in 12 years in the match against Fluminense. He had just recovered from injury and was included in the squad by coach Pedro Caixinha.

In nearly 50 minutes on the pitch, Neymar only managed one shot on target and created one scoring opportunity for a teammate. Santos were completely outplayed by the home team Fluminense throughout the match.

After three rounds, Santos have yet to win a match. The team is currently ranked 18th out of 20 in the national league standings. In their next match, Neymar and his teammates will host Atletico Mineiro at home on April 17th.

Neymar scores a spectacular free-kick from a tight angle. On the morning of March 3rd ( Hanoi time), Neymar scored a beautiful goal to help Santos win 2-0 against Bragantino in the Paulista State Championship.
