It’s no secret that Brazilian striker Neymar (30 years old, 121 caps and 75 goals) publicly took a stand for Jair Bolsonaro during the recent presidential elections in his country. While Lula da Silva finally won, the support of the Paris Saint-Germain player created tensions within his selection, according to information from the Catalan daily Sport on Wednesday.
Indeed, internally, the Auriverde locker room had made a promise: no one should get wet politically in order to avoid the slightest debate before the 2022 World Cup in an already very divided nation. For his part, Neymar therefore betrayed this commitment and seriously annoyed his world by involving the Seleçao in this story with his desire to dedicate his first goal at the World Cup to Bolsonaro. It remains to be seen whether this affair will have an impact on the group life of the men of Tite.
