NEYMAR NONCOMMITTAL ON SANTOS FUTURE AFTER INJURY HAT-TRICK
Neymar scored a crucial hat-trick in 17 minutes, giving Santos a vital 3-0 win and boosting their Brasileirão survival chances. He remains noncommittal on his future.
Neymar had a great game on Wednesday, scoring three goals in Santos' solid 3-0 win against Juventude. This win is a big deal for Santos, improving their odds of staying in the top league, the Brasileirão.
Despite a knee issue, Neymar really showed his skill, scoring his goals in just 17 minutes during the second half. He scored first in the 56th minute, then again just 10 minutes later. He completed his hat trick with a penalty in the 73rd minute.
This is his first time scoring three goals in a game since April 2022, when he did it for Paris Saint-Germain against Clermont.
He didn't say much about his future with Santos after the game.
Neymar on his Santos future: I don’t know.
After the game, the former Barcelona and PSG star said he’s focused on finishing this season strong and wouldn’t say if he’ll stay in Brazil.
“I don’t know, honestly. I want to finish this season first and then think about what’s next. Santos is always my priority,” he said.
About playing injured, Neymar said he’s careful not to risk his career and that he can handle the injury.
“I’m really happy about the goals and helping Santos. We’re happy about the win. We have one game left, and we need to give it everything at Vila again,” he said. “My health always comes first—I won’t do anything that could hurt my career. It’s something I’ve been dealing with for years. I’m doing everything I can to get back to 100%. Scoring today made me really happy.”
“I’m always myself in every game, no matter what. Things don't always go as planned because of the team or injuries, but I always show up. I know what I can do on the field and always try my best,” he added.
Santos is now out of the relegation zone
The win on Wednesday moved Santos two points away from the relegation zone. With only one game left this season, beating Juventude greatly improves their chances of staying out of the second division.
Santos, a famous club where the legendary Pelé played his best, now faces Cruzeiro in their last league game. If they win, they’ll secure their spot in the top division for next season.
WILFRIED NANCY: CELTIC BOSS BLOCKS OUT ALL "NOISE" AND CRITICISM AFTER HEARTS LOSS
After the heat following the Hearts' loss, Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy stated he has "blocked everything out," including social media criticism, to focus solely on the team's performance.
Celtic's head coach, Wilfried Nancy, said he tunes out all the noise when making decisions as a manager.
This comes after the Frenchman faced some heat after a 2-1 loss to Heart of Midlothian in his first game with the Glasgow team.
Before the Europa League match against AS Roma, Nancy said he doesn't pay attention to what others think.
When asked if those opinions bother him, he told a press conference, "That's a good question."
I'll be honest.
Every team I've coached—when I decided to become a coach—well, when I had the chance to become a coach, I'd been an assistant for seven years, working with many coaches.
I always told myself that when I became a coach, I'd block everything out. And that's exactly what I did.
He said he's built a wall between himself and any outside opinions, even online criticism.
I've blocked anything on Twitter that mentions my name, the club, or what people are saying.
People can say what they want. It's part of the job, and that's what we prepare for. I'm not here to comment on everything.
The manager explained that ignoring public opinion helps him focus on what he can control to improve how the team plays.
He used an analogy about how everyone has different tastes, like when people have different experiences with the same food.
We could visit a restaurant together, and you might love the food, while I don't.
Get what I mean? You like it, and I don't.
Nancy made his goals clear: he's focused on his players and the club and wants to do his best to give good performances.
He wrapped up by saying, At the end of the day, it's part of the job. I control what I can to be good with my players, my club, and the people I work with and to make sure we have the best chance of winning by playing well.
His team will play AS Roma in the Europa League tomorrow.
PEACE PRIZE SCRUTINY: FIFA FACES FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT UNILATERAL DONALD TRUMP AWARD
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is accused of four breaches of the ethics code by FairSquare, including awarding the first FIFA Peace Prize to Donald Trump at the World Cup draw.
_1765306901.webp)
After the World Cup draw last week, FIFA is facing a formal complaint about political neutrality. FairSquare, a nonprofit, sent FIFA’s Ethics Committee a detailed letter pointing out four possible violations by FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the event, one of which was giving out the FIFA Peace Prize.
Calls for FIFA to Look Into It
FairSquare's complaint follows the World Cup draw. At the event, the awarding of the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize was part of several mentions of President Donald Trump. FIFA said the award recognised Trump’s work in promoting peace and unity around the world.
FairSquare believes that giving the prize, along with other things that happened during the event, might have gone against FIFA’s policy of being politically neutral. They've requested the ethics committee to look into the decision to create and give out the FIFA Peace Prize and whether it followed FIFA’s rules.
Infantino and Trump
Infantino and Trump have met a few times over the years, which isn't unusual, as FIFA presidents often meet with leaders from different countries. During the draw, Infantino made some comments about Trump.
He said he was surprised by negative comments about Trump. He stated that, regardless of not being American, Trump was elected in the United States, and one should respect the results of a democratic election.
FairSquare's complaint argues that these statements show a political stance, breaking FIFA’s neutrality rules.
FIFA's Ethics Code
FIFA's ethics code says that the organisation should stay neutral when it comes to politics. It specifically says FIFA remains neutral in matters of politics and religion, also requiring everyone bound by the code to remain politically neutral when dealing with government groups.
Infantino has met with Trump a few times, including an invitation to the presidential inauguration and visits to the Oval Office.
Acting Alone
The Peace Prize given to Trump has been questioned, as it seems it was decided on and awarded without talking to senior FIFA officials. High-ranking FIFA officials were unaware of the award before its announcement. The award was revealed on the same day Infantino spoke at an event in the United States.
