What did Neymar said?
In Instagram story post, Neymar criticized the synthetic lawn, being straight to the point.
– Proven … synthetic is shit Wrote the Santos star.
Neymar’s performance was discreet in Belo Horizonte. Right in the first minute of the game, he twisted his ankle in a bid without contact with his opponent, a consequence that further reinforced his dissatisfaction with the Arena Arena floor. After medical care, he followed in the field.

Neymar and the synthetic lawn
It is worth remembering that the attacker had already expressed discomfort in acting in artificial lawns, and his presence before the Rooster was questioned throughout the week precisely for this reason.
Despite the criticism, Neymar completed the 90 minutes, but could not stand out. The draw kept Santos alive in the dispute for important points, while the debate on the use of synthetic lawns again gained strength in Brazilian football.
