The father of the “Santos” striker Neymar commented on how the media portrays his son’s life, where he is constantly surrounded by girls, parties and poker. Neymar senior considers his son’s career successful and willingly notes that his activities outside the field have never distracted him.
Neymar, Getty Images“We must stop believing that he has a carnival every evening. On the pitch, he is a professional. Off it — that’s his personal life.
He goes out when he is on vacation or when he is not playing. Injuries happened not because he was meeting girls. Do you think he injured his cruciate ligaments because he was playing poker?” — cites Neymar senior L’Equipe.
