Shirt number 10 of the Brazilian national team, Neymar Jr., 30, became the target of criticism on social networks after his performance in Brazil’s debut in the World Cup, this Thursday (24). Although netizens are unhappy with the athlete’s performance on the field, the comments were directed at the support that the player shows to Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Many remembered the promise that the Paris Saint Germain striker had made if he scored a goal: Celebrate by making the number 22 with his hand as a tribute to Bolsonaro. Neymar did not score a goal in the match, and left the field in the 22nd minute of the second half, with an injury to his right ankle.
However, he could not make the gesture. FIFA prohibits political demonstrations during the World Cup. This whole context displeased the CBF at the time of the player’s statement. “SoNEYgador promised tribute to Bolsonaro in case of a goal. Make the 22 million Neymala!”, Wrote an internet user, remembering the debt of R$ 188 million that the star turned to the current president of the republic to claim.
“Comrades, did Neymala hurt his ankle? So what do you want me to do? I’m not a physiotherapist! “And Neymar paid homage to Bolsonaro, right? He did nothing and ended up crying”, wrote a third internet user.
The Brazilian team beat Serbia 2-0, with both goals scored by Richarlison – nicknamed the pigeon by fans and netizens. The player received several compliments on the networks, including the presenter Xuxa Meneghel, who shared a publication of him encouraging young people to take the vaccine against Covid-19.
