Há pessoas que, mesmo solteiras, continuam exclusivas. Não por falta de opção, mas porque não usam qualquer companhia para ocupar um lugar que, para elas, ainda precisa fazer sentido.
🚨Thiago Mendes on he refused to shake Neymar Jr.’s hand before the Santos and Vasco da Gama’s match.
🗣️“People talk a lot about sportsmanship. In football the handshake before the game is tradition, not law. It’s a gesture that only works when there’s mutual respect. When that respect is gone, forcing the moment becomes theatre.
In 2020 I made a mistake. I went in hard, I got sent off, I apologised publicly the same night. My family received death threats for months because of that one tackle. I lived with that. I never ran from it.
I didn’t intentionally try to injure him. I was doing my job as a midfielder in a competitive match. Football is a contact sport. If a player doesn’t want to be touched, maybe he should choose a different game. Wanting everyone to play soft around you just because your name is Neymar is not how this sport works. That attitude is one of the reasons I didn’t feel the need to shake his hand.
What I don’t accept is someone who still uses that moment six years later to call me an ‘idiot’ in front of cameras, then walks up expecting a friendly handshake like nothing was said. You can’t publicly disrespect someone and then demand the full ceremonial treatment.
I compete hard. I accept the consequences of my actions. I just refuse to pretend everything is fine for the cameras when it isn’t. That’s my standard. Some people will call it a lack of sportsmanship. I call it consistency.”
Some players are treated like untouchable kings. The rest of us are just supposed to accept whatever they say. I’m not built like that. I’m 34 years old, I’ve been through a lot in this game, and I still wake up every day knowing who I am.
If that bothers people, good. At least now everyone knows where I stand.”
Peço desculpas ao próximo homem, mas eu não sou mais mulher do processo. Não salvo, não sustento, não ensino, não insisto e não carrego ninguém nas costas. Já dei amor e apoio demais para quem só soube receber. Boas mulheres também cansam.
Aprenda a não contar um plano até que ele se concretize. Aprenda a não publicar uma viagem até char ao seu destino. Aprenda a proteger a sua energia, pois nem todo mundo se alegra com suas conquistas.
