  • Brazil fan leaves everything to Neymar in will

    Brazil fan leaves everything to Neymar in will

    Leaving everything you own to a multi-millionaire football player would not be everyone’s idea of a good cause, but one Brazilian fan has just done that.

    The anonymous fan could not think of a more deserving recipient of his worldly goods than Neymar Jr. of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

    He said that beyond a love for the national team and for Brazil’s football legacy, he identified with Neymar, which led him to officially name the Brazil striker in his will.

    “I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot. I also suffer with defamation, I am also very family-oriented and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of mine with my father, who has passed away,” the fan said in an interview.

    “I am not in very good health and, because of that, I really saw that I don’t have anyone to leave my things to… I wouldn’t want the government or relatives I don’t get along with to take my things.”

    The 30-year-old added that he had tried unsuccessfully to give his assets to the Brazil international before.

    But he pointed out that the will was a legal way to do so and the document was signed by a notary’s office in Porto Alegre.

    PSG’s Neymar is one of the world’s best paid sportsmen, with estimated earnings of 85 million dollars for 2023, according to Forbes.

    “I know that, above all, he is not greedy, something a bit rare these days,” the fan said.

  • World Cup exit: I am psychologically destroyed – Neymar

    World Cup exit: I am psychologically destroyed – Neymar

    Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has posted an emotional message after Brazil’s elimination from the 2022 World Cup at the hands of Croatia on Friday.

    He burst into tears after Croatia won on penalties to clinch qualification to the semi-finals of the competition.

    “I am psychologically destroyed,” Neymar wrote.

    “This was undoubtedly the defeat that hurt me the most, which left me paralyzed for 10 minutes and right after I burst into non-stop tears.

    “It’s going to hurt for soooo long, unfortunately. We fought until the end. I am proud of my teammates because there was no lack of commitment and dedication.

    “This group deserved it, we deserved it, BRAZIL deserved it. But this was not the will of GOD! It was worth every sacrifice to feel the affection of each one of us from on the field. Thank you all for your support with our national team.

    “Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. It’s going to hurt for a long, long time. Thank you for everything my GOD, you have given me everything so I can’t complain.

    “Just thank you for taking care of me. All the honor and glory always goes to you, no matter the circumstances.”

  • Brazil: Neymar hints on retirement as Tite steps down

    Brazil: Neymar hints on retirement as Tite steps down

    Neymar said he “cannot 100% guarantee” he will continue playing for Brazil after their World Cup exit, while coach Tite confirmed he will step down.

    The favourites went out at the quarter-final stage for the second World Cup running, losing on penalties to 2018 runners-up Croatia after a 1-1 draw.

    Tite, 61, says he “goes in peace” after six years as Brazil manager.

    But Neymar, 30, will take stock before confirming his decision, adding: “I need to think a bit more about this.”

    The Paris St-Germain forward equalled Pele’s ‘official’ goalscoring record of 77 in 124 appearances for the Brazil men’s national team after firing them into the lead against Croatia in extra time.

    But Bruno Petkovic’s 117th-minute equaliser and Brazil’s subsequent 4-2 defeat on penalties left the former Barcelona player with a decision to make.

    “I am not closing any doors on the national team but I am also not guaranteeing 100% that I will return,” said Neymar, who made his international debut aged 18.

    “I need to think a bit more about this, about what is the right thing for me and for the national team.”

    Neymar played in three World Cups for the Selecao, helping them reach the semi-finals in his home country in 2014 before missing the 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Germany in the last four through injury.

    “It is an awful feeling. I think this is a worse feeling than what happened at the last World Cup,” said Neymar, referring to Brazil’s 2-1 quarter-final defeat by Belgium at Russia 2018.

    “It is difficult to find the words to describe this moment. We fought and I am proud of my team-mates, proud of the character they showed to step up and take penalties.”
