Remo President Calls Neymar a ‘Bum’ After Drama

Following Neymar Jr’s verbal altercation with the Rema officials and staff after Santos FC’s round of 16 victory, the club president, Antonio Carlos Teixeira, has launched a scathing attack on the Brazilian star for his post-match antics.

Speaking to the reporters, Teixeira called Neymar a ‘bum’ and accused him of putting on a ‘clown show’ to deliberately provoke the team, staff, and fans after the final whistle. He even expressed guilty of idolising players of that caliber, adding that Santos, as a historic club, doesn’t need such unnecessary controversy overshadowing the game.

“It was a great campaign, but now the feeling of being harmed. Santos doesn't need this,” the Remo president said.

“And this Bum, Neymar, who is idolized by a group of children, pulled his clown show and still came to taunt us. We're guilty of idolizing a bunch of bums like that guy,” he added.
