😡 Should get a slap: Santos fans fume at Neymar & co

Yahooa day ago
It was the biggest defeat in his career when Neymar and Santos were outclassed by relegation candidate Vasco da Gama over the weekend. The Brazilians lost 0:6 in front of over 50,000 fans at their home Estádio Urbano Caldeira.
Neymar broke down in tears afterward, as TV footage showed. His coach Cleber Xavier was dismissed immediately after the game. Managing director Alexandre Mattos also asked the fans for forgiveness after the defeat, as you can see here in the video.
However, the fans did not seem to have forgiven the team yet, as they protested around the Santos training ground on Tuesday and confronted the stars. In the middle of it all: Neymar Jr., who was directly confronted by a fan.
"What happened here today (the invasion) is nothing! Can I tell you something? You should get a slap in the face!" a member of a Santos fan group stated bluntly.
As the club had already anticipated protests, the management increased police presence.
The players, who had Monday off, returned to the training center on Tuesday to prepare for the next game. They were already on site when the fans gathered at the training ground.

England icon Peter Shilton's incredible 28-year-old world appearance record broken by Brazilian Serie A star

Fabio breaks Shilton's appearance record Debate remains over Shilton's official match tally Brazilian keeper nearing 1,400 official appearances Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Shilton, who enjoyed a stellar career spanning between 1966 and 1997, has long been credited with holding the all-time appearance record, but his exact total remains a subject of much debate. He lists 1,387 matches in the biography section of his X account. Guinness World Records, however, recognises 1,390. A separate calculation of his senior club and England national team outings comes to 1,374, with higher counts possibly including appearances for England Under-23s and various regional cup competitions. THE BIGGER PICTURE What's clear, though, is that Fabio's relentless consistency since starting his career back in 1998 has propelled him into history's top tier, regardless of disputed tallies. Fluminense officials presented Fabio with a commemorative plate and a bespoke painting, while he played the match against America de Cali donning a shirt adorned with a special patch marking his milestone. WHAT FABIO SAID 'I have nothing but reasons to thank God, who allowed me to experience this special moment, to reach this gigantic milestone,' Fabio said. 'It was incredibly moving to experience it, especially having my family by my side during the tributes. It's a huge satisfaction to reach this record wearing the Fluminense jersey, which opened doors for me. Now it's time to keep playing and strive for new achievements with each game.' DID YOU KNOW? Fabio's entire career has been forged in Brazil. He began his professional journey with Uniao Bandeirante (30 games) before moving to Vasco da Gama (150 games). His most successful spell came at Cruzeiro, where he amassed a staggering 976 matches, cementing himself as one of the club's most iconic figures. Since joining Fluminense, he has added another 235 appearances, becoming a cornerstone for the Rio de Janeiro giants. Remarkably, despite his domestic dominance, Fabio has never played for the Brazilian national team. WHAT NEXT? At 44, Fabio has become football's iron man, a symbol of endurance in a sport. He featured in six matches at this summer's Club World Cup, helping Fluminense to the semi-finals before falling to eventual champions Chelsea. His presence between the sticks is still trusted on the continental stage, underlining both his resilience and enduring quality.

Fluminense says goalkeeper Fabio has broken Peter Shilton's record for most soccer games played

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian club Fluminense says goalkeeper Fabio has broken the world record for most competitive soccer matches played with his 1,391st appearance, surpassing the mark set by former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the 1990s. Fluminense said the 44-year-old Fabio pulled ahead of Shilton in the team's 2-0 win over Colombian club America in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, South America's top club competition. Fluminense advanced 4-1 on aggregate. Fabio was honored by his club after the match at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro with a commemorative plaque and an image marking the record. Fluminense's goalkeeper wore a patch mentioning the milestone. South America's soccer governing body CONMEBOL also congratulated him on reaching 1,391 career appearances. 'It is a tremendous satisfaction to reach this record wearing the Fluminense jersey, which opened the doors for me,' Fabio said. 'Now it's time to keep playing and strive for new achievements with every game.' There is no single official soccer body that tracks players' appearances across domestic and international competitions, which makes record-keeping complicated and subject to disputes about what counts as a competitive match. However, Shilton was widely seen as the record-holder for most competitive games played. Guinness World Records had him at 1,390 appearances in all competitions, though Shilton's personal count is 1,387. The discrepancy comes down to which matches should count as official senior appearances. Fabio began his career in the late 1990s, playing mostly with Brazilian club Cruzeiro. He has 976 appearances with Cruzeiro, 235 with Fluminense, 150 with Vasco da Gama and 30 with Uniao Bandeirante. Fabio helped lead Fluminense, which he joined in 2022, to the semifinals of the Club World Cup earlier this year. He was a key player in the team's maiden Copa Libertadores title in 2023. Fabio played for Brazil's youth teams but never for the country's senior squad. ___ AP soccer:
