As reported by beIN SPORTS, Neymar’s return home has turned into a gloomy story. He hasn’t scored a single goal in the last six matches, and the team has dropped to the relegation zone. In the last match, he was substituted, immediately ran into the tunnel, swearing and showing his frustration. Many in the Santos dressing room believe Neymar is the source of instability and growing tension.

After 32 rounds of Brazil’s Serie A, Santos is in 17th place in the standings with 33 points. With six rounds left until the end of the season in Brazil, Neymar’s team is two points behind the safe 16th place.
