Flamengo head coach, Filipe Luis has reacted to Neymars goal for Santos during both sides Brazilian Serie A tie in the early hours of Thursday.
Luis, a former Brazilian national teammate with Neymar, watched as second half goal from the former Paris Saint-Germain forward gave Santos the victory against Flamengo.
According to Luis, its a shame that Neymar had to decide the game by scoring the only goal of the encounter.
Speaking at his post-match interview, Luis said: Everyone knows his quality, how important he is for our football.
Today I saw Neymar at Serie A physical level. We saw him in duels, in his repositioning, defending and pressuring our defenders, which he had not been doing before our break.
