San Paulo's president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro, giving an interview to the newspaper "O Estado de Sao Paulo," shot arrows of criticism towards the Madrid club.

The anger of the Brazilian team's leader was provoked by the "arrogant" behavior demonstrated by the negotiations for the acquisition of forward Neymar.

Eventually, the 19-year-old footballer, who had been tempted by "Real" for months, signed a new contract with "Santos." He should stay in his homeland at least until 2014.

The behavior of "Real" leaders was unjustified and extremely arrogant. Such an attitude can boldly be called colonialistic," Ribeiro recalled the historical context.

And smiling, he added: "I convinced Neymar to stay, because I knew that "Real" coach Jose Mourinho would order him to cut his hair. But here he can choose any hairstyle he wants."
