“It’s very sad. I don’t come on vacation, let alone go for a walk. I came to do what I love most, playing football and defending my country. We do our best there, and often.” The result doesn’t come. It’s not what fans expect. That person who threw that, I didn’t even see what it was, I didn’t see it until he hit me. I became very nervous, I condemn this kind of attitude. You shouldn’t do it. It’s very bad for football and for the fans. People. A person who does such a thing is not educated. If he complains so much, he should have trained better and been on the field, not me,” Neymar said on ESPN.
