The Santos football team arrived in Caxias do Sul for their upcoming match against the relegated Juventude, with added security and a focus on Neymar, who traveled in a private plane provided by Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras. The team arrived around 8:30 PM, and Neymar was seen engaging with fans despite strict security measures. During his brief interaction, Neymar responded to a reporter's question about his preference between leaving Santos in Serie A or playing in the World Cup with frustration. Santos aims to improve their standing in the Brasileiro, needing a win to avoid relegation, as they are currently tied on points with Internacional and just ahead of Fortaleza in the standings. The match is crucial for Santos, who are fighting to stay in Serie A, while Juventude, already relegated, has little to lose. The game will be officiated by FIFA referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio, who has previously refereed multiple Santos matches. Meanwhile, controversy surrounds the ongoing relegation battle, with reports indicating that rival clubs have attempted to influence Juventude players through 'mala branca' or bribery, to favor certain outcomes in the fight against relegation. Additionally, Neymar is reportedly seeking to set a scoring record in 2025 to help Santos avoid relegation. The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 7:30 PM, with detailed team lineups and refereeing information available.
