His name: Eigon Oliver. He goes through life as a lookalike of the Brazilian superstar during the World Cup in Qatar and does so very convincingly. With, among other things, a polo shirt from the Seleçao, dark sunglasses, cap, Louis Vitton handbag and bodyguards.
The result: he is regularly attacked by enthusiastic football fans who want a selfie. Thinking they score one with the real Neymar. This has already happened on the street, but also in the stands during the match between Brazil and Switzerland.
