Santos FC and Neymar suffered another setback on Wednesday, falling 2-1 to Corinthians in the 9th round of the Paulista Championship. After a disappointing 0-0 draw against Novorizontin, the Brazilian forward was under pressure to deliver, but once again failed to make an impact.
Despite the defeat, the match provided a touching moment between Neymar and Memphis Depay. The two players, who have known each other since their time in Europe, shared a conversation after the game and exchanged jerseys and boots, a sign of mutual respect and friendship.
With growing criticism over his underwhelming performances, Neymar will need to step up soon if he hopes to regain his best form with Santos.
