Neymar Silences Critics with 'Olimpico' Goal and Assist Against International Limeira
Neymar responds to jeers from the crowd with a stunning goal and assists in Santos' win over International Limeira.
Neymar has revealed that he was motivated to score his first-ever 'Olimpico' goal after being jeered by International Limeira fans during Santos' 3-0 win in the Paulista Championship on Sunday. The Brazil international netted directly from a corner in the 27th minute, bending in a right-footed shot that struck the far post and ended up in the goal. Neymar's goal was a highlight of the match, and he also provided two assists for Tiquinho Soares to score a first-half double..
Neymar explained that the jeers from the International Limeira fans had provoked him to score the goal. “They teased me and I said, now I'm the one who's going to score the goal,” Neymar told TNT Sports. The Santos forward's response to the jeers was a testament to his skill and determination on the pitch.
The home fans at International Limeira attempted to unsettle Neymar during the match, taunting him in the ninth minute as he prepared to take a corner. However, Neymar responded to the jeers in a confident manner, signalling for the fans to sing louder before delivering a pinpoint corner that set up Tiquinho Soares to score. Neymar's reaction to the taunts showcased his mental toughness and ability to thrive under pressure.

After the match, Neymar took to social media to express his joy and passion for football. “My greatest joy is playing football,” Neymar posted. The Brazilian forward's comments echoed his sentiments from last week, when he praised Santos for helping him “to rediscover football, rediscover joy.” Neymar's return to his boyhood club has seemingly revitalized his love for the game, and he will look to continue his impressive form when Santos face Bragantino in the Paulista Championship quarter-finals next weekend..
