📹 Neymar hits back after poker criticism: mind your own business Back at Santos, Neymar is expected to make his Brasileirão return next Saturday (25), against Chapecoense, at Vila Belmiro, in the 20th round. But the days leading up to the match have been eventful for the star wearing the No. 10 shirt. That is because Neymar was heavily criticized last Tuesday (21), when he took part in a poker tournament , hours before Peixe played the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round-of-16 playoffs against UCV (a 4-1 win). However, this Thursday (23), the 34-year-old forward turned to social media to hit back at the criticism. In a 32-second video on his Instagram stories, Neymar appeared at the gym, drinking an energy drink and explaining that he played poker because he had the day off. At the end, Santos’ No. 10 asked ironically: "Can I train or are you going to keep complaining too?" "I was here getting ready for my second training session, and I remembered that on my day off a lot of people were talking about me playing poker and this and that... I worked in the morning, I didn’t go to the match because I’ve only just returned to training and, the next day, I was off. People keep talking, right... Anyway, now I’m here getting ready for training. Now I want to ask you: ‘Can I train or are you going to keep complaining too?’ Go mind your own business!" Neymar was part of Brazil’s campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which ended prematurely with a 2-1 defeat to Norway in the round of 16 (11th place overall). The No. 10 scored Brazil’s consolation goal in stoppage time, his only one in the tournament. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
