The star of the number 10 jersey had never left the field with such a large goal difference in an official match.
After the match, Neymar spoke in the mixed zone of the stadium.
Clearly upset, the striker swore and warned: “If it’s for (the group) to do this, there’s no need to show up again”.
🗣️ “We have to explain our attitude on the field. Summing it all up, it was crap, it’s a shame to do this kind of thing with the Santos shirt. Everyone has to put their head on the pillow, go home, and think about what they want to do. Because, with today’s attitude, if we’re going to do what we did today, there’s no need to show up on Wednesday”.
🗣️ “Shame. I am totally disappointed with our game. The fans have the right to protest in any way, obviously, without resorting to violence. But, to curse and offend, today, is their right. Today is a feeling of great shame, I had never gone through this in my life and, unfortunately, today it happened”.
The 6 x 0 is the biggest thrashing suffered by Santos in the confrontation against Vasco. Before, only 5 x 1 for each side.
It was also the biggest thrashing of the Giant of the Hill, as a visitor, in the first division of the Brazilian Championship.
And it was also the third worst defeat of a home team in the Brasileirão of points run (since 2003).
