Neymar accused Santos fans of criticizing the club during their 2-1 win over Macará on Thursday. The Brazilian icon put on a standout performance to see his side turn around a 1-0 deficit, providing both assists. However, an earlier moment in the game caught attention.

The 34-year-old misplaced a pass in the first half which was greeted by jeers from the Santos fans. Neymar reacted by waving his arms in the air, asking for support from the stands. In an exclusive interview with ESPN Brazil, he stated: "If you keep thinking about that and come to the stadium with a negative mindset, it's better to stay home."

Neymar told the crowd that instead of criticizing, they should offer encouragement. "You only like the guy when he's winning," the star remarked, noting the frustration of fans who have been suffering for many years. He emphasized that support is essential to turning games around.
