There was no political stance to be seen in the airing of the Brazilian superstar.
Neymar has declared his loyalty to Brazil’s outgoing president For Jair Bolsonarobut he didn’t keep his promise to her.
In a YouTube broadcast at the end of October, Neymar announced that he dedicated his first goal in the World Cup in Qatar to Bolsonaro, who was still in the presidential race at the time and has since been elected Lulan with.
However, that was not the case when the Brazilian superstar hit a spot kick in Monday’s quarter-final match against South Korea. Neymar went to celebrate his success after being sidelined from the World Cup due to a knee injury Alex Telles instead of forming the “22” hand sign used by those behind Bolsonaro, which he had planned to present.
Telles, who experienced World Cup disappointment, received a warm hug from his teammate.
The rape commotion got closer
On the last day of the year, Bolsonaro, who is renouncing his powers, got behind him in the presidential race, in addition to Neymar, several top football players, such as Dani Alves, Ronaldinho, Romario and a futsal legend Falcao.
However, the support of the people’s favorites was not enough for the second term, as the far-right’s alternative narrowly fell to Lula, the left-wing politician who was elected for the third time, in the second round of voting, with a difference of only one percentage of votes. Bolsonaro has not recognized his defeat and has practically withdrawn from the public after the election.
Neymar says he liked Bolsonaro because of his values emphasizing family and freedom. Futari and the former army officer became close when Neymar was accused of raping a Brazilian model in a Paris hotel in 2019. Bolsonaro publicly declared that he believed the PSG star was innocent and described the incident as blackmail.
The Sao Paolo prosecutor closed the case the same year, citing insufficient evidence.
