Things moved quickly at Santos in the past few hours. After suffering a humiliating 0-6 defeat to Vasco de Gama and seeing Neymar break down in tears, the club has made its decision.
On matchday 20 of the Brazilian league this Sunday, Santos were humiliated by Vasco de Gama (0-6). Neymar endured the heaviest defeat of his career. He couldn't hold back the tears at the final whistle. Teammates, staff members, and even opponent Philippe Coutinho tried to comfort him, but the former PSG star struggled to come to terms with the setback.

"It was shameful, it was really crap! I'm so disappointed with our performance. The fans have every right to protest, but without violence—they can insult us and curse us. It's a profound feeling of shame. I've never experienced anything like this in my life. It's disgraceful to play a match like this wearing the Santos shirt. Everyone should lower their heads, go home, and think about what they want to do next," he stated.
