Brazilian midfielder Thiago Mendes published a video at dawn today (14) on his Instagram account. On the recording, Thiago Mendes recorded his “sincere apology” to Neymar. Yesterday, in Lyon’s win against PSG, the midfielder hit the Brazilian forward’s left ankle hard.

The move happened in the second half. Neymar left the field crying and took him on a stretcher. Thiago Mendes received a yellow card, but after consulting the VAR, the referee sent off the Lyon player.

“I am recording this video to apologize to Neymar. I hope he is okay. In no case did I intend to hurt him,” the Lyon midfielder said in the video posted on his Instagram account. “We know that Neymar is one of the best players in the world. Like the Brazilian people, I also admire his football. I hope that nothing serious has happened, that he recovers quickly and brings joy to the fans,” Thiago Mendes said about recording.

The former Santos’ exam results should come out today. After the game, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel spoke to the press and said he was “concerned” about the star’s situation.

Neymar’s father, for his part, expressed his disgust at the number of absences his son suffered during matches. Along with a photo that recorded the fateful move, he spared no criticism of the refereeing. “Wow … until when? So much talk about it, so much we remember this excess of violence! Why not inhibit it at the beginning, in the first, why wait for the 7, 8, 9 missing?”, He wrote.

In the post, Neymar Pai described Thiago Mendes’s attitude as “irresponsible” and “violent”. According to him, by allowing this type of play during matches, “we are nurturing this type of player and attitude.” “So, really, football will lose. How long will it be the victim’s fault?”
