Neymar can’t mask anger after bizarre red card (video)
We often see red cards in football for interesting reasons, but this Neymar red card is just incredible. After scoring a goal to put Santos 3-0 up against Colo Colo, Neymar’s celebration did not impress the referee and who gave him him a second yellow and immediate expulsion from the game.
So what did Neymar do you might ask to earn himself this red card? Brace yourselves; he put on a mask, of his own face. Several questions come to mind, firstly, why? What bizarre message does putting on a mask of your own face give or is Neymar’s ego that big? Secondly, why does this bizarre act deserve a yellow card? It’s just a bit of fun.
In all seriousness, the yellow was probably for running to the crowd to receive the mask; a booking that we often see in the premier league that I personally think is ridiculous. The game eventually ended 3-2 to Santos with a ridiculous total of 5 red cards!
