Neymar has caused an unprecedented scandal at Santos, humiliating young players, the club has called an emergency meeting.

The article reports that Brazilian footballer Neymar was involved in a controversial incident during a match against Chapecoense, where he allegedly verbally abused two young teammates in the dressing room. The behavior reportedly caused significant unrest among players, staff, and club officials, leading Santos FC to call an emergency meeting to address the situation. Specific allegations include Neymar calling one player 'govnom' (a derogatory term) and suggesting the player would have to play against Chapecoense in a lower league next season. The incident occurred after Santos took an early lead but then suffered a collapse, with Chapecoense eventually winning 2-2. Neymar later scored a penalty to save the team from further embarrassment, but the scandal continued to spread beyond the dressing room. Club insiders express concern over Neymar’s conduct both on and off the pitch, noting its negative impact on younger and foreign players who reportedly feel intimidated by his public criticism and physical presence.
