The relationship on the field between Neymar and his father, who is also called Neymar, goes back to his first steps on the pitch. When he was a minor, the player listened to the opinions and advice of his partner, who is said to be the athlete’s first critic.
“If Neymar has many critics, I was the first one. You can be sure of that”, said Neymar’s father, in an interview with NR Sports, agency that takes care of the player’s image.
“I think it was an important preparation for me, in which he [pai] led me into the field, spoke, whistled. When I was little, he would say ‘Cut in’, and I would listen. He was preparing me to become who I am”, declared the Paris Saint-Germain striker.
The relationship between the two and Neymar’s son, Davi Lucca, will be part of the documentary “Parents and children – inside history”, which the NR Sports is producing. According to the press office of the Paris shirt 10, the project will be launched on the 23rd.
This Saturday, the athlete enters the field with Mauricio Pochettino’s team, at 13:00 (GMT), against Nantes. The duel is valid for the 14th round of the French Championship.
