Neymar is a Brazilian footballer, striker of the French PSG and the Brazilian national team. The player has many records and many sporting titles. To these, we must add the title of the most expensive financially: the desire to see Magrelo (Neymar's nickname) in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain cost the club's owners €222 million.
The athlete was born in the Brazilian city of Mogi das Cruzes. His full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior (Junior), but for ease of pronunciation in the world community, the Brazilian is simply called by his first name – Neymar. The father of the future celebrity was a former football player and at the time of his son's birth he was selling jewelry. The mother ran the house. Neymar has a younger sister, Rafaella. Shortly after the appearance of the heir, the family moved to San Vicente. From an early age, the Brazilian did not know that he would become a famous football player. Having watched enough cartoons, he dreamed of becoming Superman or Power Ranger.
Growing up, Neymar Jr. began to take an interest in his father's favorite sport. The head of the family himself became the first football coach of the future Barcelona striker, teaching the boy the intricacies of the game of millions. In 2003, the child was accepted into the children's academy of the Santos football club, and the family changed their place of residence again - they moved to the city of Santos, which corresponds to both the name of the team and their own surname. The boy's success on the football field was so remarkable that the 14-year-old was invited to the youth academy of the Spanish giant Real Madrid. But Santos made every effort, managing to keep the young athlete with him. Since then, the player has begun to earn decent money, which allowed the family to buy their own house.
At the age of 17, Neymar officially began his professional football career: he signed his first contract with his hometown club Santos. Already in his second match for the main team, the young player scored his first goal in big football. In the spring of 2010, Santos won the main trophy and became the champion of the state of Sao Paulo, and Neymar himself was recognized as the best player of the championship. After that, the team won the Brazilian Cup, and Neymar became the top scorer of the tournament with 11 goals. In the summer, the club won the main tournament of South America – the Copa Libertadores, in which the champions and vice-champions of the countries of the continent participated. In 2011, Neymar received the FIFA Ferenc Puskás Award, awarded to the player who scores the most beautiful goal. This award was given to the striker for his incredible goal against Flamengo. Before the last shot, Neymar was taking care of the opposing defense alone. It cannot be said that the striker has special physical characteristics (height 174 cm, weight 68 kg), which help him to work wonders on the field, but, according to football analysts, the technique and work with the ball of Neymar are at a high level. In 2011, the 19-year-old footballer was recognized as the best player in Brazil and South America. Neymar was nominated for the Ballon d'Or. The athlete's incredible successes have attracted great interest from the leading clubs in world football. Representatives of Real Madrid, Chelsea in London, Juventus Turin and other FCs approached Santos management with lucrative offers for Neymar's transfer. In the end, Barcelona was lucky. Neymar scored his first goal in a maroon blue jersey in the Spanish Super Cup match against Atlético Madrid.
It took the footballer 6 minutes after coming on as a substitute for the ball to end up in the opponent's net. Also in his debut season, Neymar broke Lionel Messi's record by scoring the fastest hat-trick in the club's history. It took Neymar 13 minutes to score 3 goals against Celtic Celtic. The following season was triumphant for Barcelona. The team won the Spanish Championship, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League. Neymar shared the title of top scorer in the Champions League with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and also broke several club and personal records in football competitions. In the 2016/2017 season, Neymar posted negative performance statistics. The Brazilian played 28 matches and scored 13 goals. Such indicators seemed depressing in the context of the performances of Messi and Luis Suarez. In March 2017, the British media reported on a possible transfer of the Brazilian to Chelsea in London, since Roman Abramovich, the owner of the English team, had already agreed with the management of the Catalan club to acquire the striker, but the head coach of the "aristocrats" Antonio Conte banned the deal. In August 2017, Neymar bought out his contract in Barcelona for 222 million euros in order to comply with the rules of financial fair play and leave without problems for France. The footballer planned to play for Paris Saint-Germain for 5 years and receive a salary of 30 million euros per year, the British TV channel Sky Sports reported. Another 40 million euros fell into the account of the striker's father as a personal agent. In the first six months, Neymar's playing statistics at PSG were impressive. The striker was among the leaders in the scoring race with 11 goals scored and 10 assists. In the Champions League, he managed to score 6 goals in 6 matches and participate in 4 assists. In addition, he won the Coupe de France and the Super Cup and led the team to victory in the Coupe de la Ligue de France. In December 2019, in a match against Saint-Etienne in the French Championship, PSG beat the enemy with a score of 2:0, but it was not this fact that attracted the attention of the fans. In the 62nd minute, Neymar had to take a penalty, but for the first time in two years, he failed to convert it and hit the post.
Neymar spent a lot of time on the field, training regularly and honing his skills with the ball. It is true that not all the tricks used by a football player during matches work to his advantage. In early February 2020, the PSG forward received a yellow card in a match of the 22nd round of the French Championship. More precisely, Neymar received the card not for a feint, but for an argument with the referee. The previous match against Lille, in which the athlete participated, caused no less discussion. After scoring the ball into the opponent's goal, the Brazilian joined his fingers with numbers 2 and 4, thereby dedicating the previous day's goal to the deceased Kobe Bryant. Kobe has been called the symbol of basketball for several generations; the American professional shooter played in the National Basketball Association for 20 seasons for one team - the Los Angeles Lakers. In May 2021, the striker extended his contract with PSG until 2025. Under the new agreement, the player received a salary of about 30 million euros per year excluding taxes and bonuses. The media featured an interview with Parisien FC newcomer, defender Sergio Ramos, who commented on the possible transfer of Parisian striker Kylian Mbappé to Spanish Real Madrid. Ramos noted that the French club now needs the best players and Kylian, along with Neymar, is one of these athletes. At the same time, the club demonstrated a tough policy regarding the participation of Brazilian Neymar in the Tokyo Olympics, although the player passionately wanted to take part in these competitions. In the November match against Saint-Etienne, Neymar injured his ankle, which is why he did not return to the field until the end of the year.
Neymar made his debut for the national team in August 2010 in a match against the US team, although fans demanded that the striker be included in the team that two months earlier had participated in the World Cup in South Africa. Fans even collected 14 signatures in support of the footballer. In addition, the legendary Pelé personally campaigned for Neymar, but Dunga, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, considered the striker too young for such a competition. At the home World Cup in 000, the footballer was repeatedly recognized as the best player of the match: he scored goals that decided the outcome of the matches. But in the quarterfinal match against the Colombian national team, opposing defender Juan Zúñiga seriously injured Neymar, breaking the Brazilian striker's third vertebra, which is why the athlete was unable to continue playing in the tournament. The Brazilian national team lost ingloriously to the Germans in the next match with a score of 2014:1, thus exiting the competition. Neither the fans, nor the players, nor the team's coach doubted the importance of Neymar for the team, that's why after the World Cup, the striker was appointed captain of the "yellow-green". Since then, kits and jerseys with the number ten have become popular in Brazil. And already in 2016, at the Olympic Games in Brazil, the athlete made a brilliant performance and brought the team a historic gold medal. Shortly before the 2018 World Cup, Neymar was injured. The doctors of the Brazilian national team, concerned about the health of their main hope, took the athlete home to undergo surgery on his foot. At the World Cup in Russia, the striker managed to recover and win the title of the best player of the 1/8 finals. Neymar holds several other records of the tournament: author of the last goal in regular time, leader in shots with the ball and shots on target, best player according to the InStat index. In the championship, he committed 23 fouls, and here the Brazilian is also the first. During the competition, the footballer changed his hairstyle three times, and jokes about the 14 minutes during which the striker pretended to be in pain lying on the grass did not leave the media pages for a few months.
In May 2019, Tite (Adenor Leonardo Bakshi) invited Neymar to join the national team to participate in the Copa America. In June of the same year, the footballer was injured while participating in a friendly match against the Qatar national team. As a result, the player did not appear at the tournament. In October, another "anniversary" took place in the striker's career: the Brazilian played his 100th match for the national team, where he fought against Senegal. Together with the Brazilian national team, Neymar participated in the Copa America in 2021, taking part in the enchanting final of the match against the Argentine team. For the second time in history, the Brazilians lost this stage at the Maracana, but this fact was perceived by the players quite calmly. Congratulatory footage from the national team athletes appeared on the Internet. Journalists captured the friendly embrace of Lionel Messi and Neymar, who was sincerely happy for his opponent. In the fall of 2022, the footballer joins the national team at the World Cup in Qatar. Sports analysts wrote that this World Cup is a very important stage for stars like Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi. The best players had to show maximum effort to win. While waiting for the first match with the Serbian national team, Neymar made a small mistake, which earned him a wave of hatred on the Internet. The athlete posted a photo of shorts on his personal blog, where the emblem of his team included 6 stars. The stars represented the victories of the Brazilian team at the World Championships – the team received gold 5 times. The presence of the 6th star was perceived negatively by malicious critics, accusing the footballer of arrogance. The Brazilian national team reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, where they were defeated by Croatia. Neymar took the defeat hard and supported his teammates.
The Brazilian often takes part in commercial shoots. Nike, Sony, Volkswagen, Red Bull and Unilever have collaborated with the Brazilian striker. In 2013, a video in which a player presented Nike's Hypervenom boots became particularly popular on the Internet.
In 2019, Neymar's total income, including the footballer's salary, various bonuses and cooperation with global giant companies, exceeded $ 100 million. In 2021, the Brazilian appeared in a bright and spectacular advertisement for the new Puma Future Z shoes in which he starred. the video and Atlético Madrid striker Luis Suarez, who also became an ambassador of the brand. According to the plot of the video, Neymar's performance in new shoes delights everyone, even aliens.
Neymar's biography included many fleeting romances. The footballer dated model Carol Abranches, actress Daniela Carvalho, TV presenter Nicole Bals, model Barbara Evans and singer Rihanna. Model Gabriella Lenzi was rushed to get married as soon as the girl starred in a wedding photo shoot for a magazine. The athlete himself said that he thinks about his family and children, but has not yet met the one with whom he is ready to walk down the aisle. In 2011, the 19-year-old footballer became a father. One of his friends, Brazilian Caroline, gave birth to a son, David Lucca. But the birth of the baby did not contribute to the development of the relationship, and the couple broke up. Nevertheless, Neymar keeps in touch with the heir and takes part in his upbringing. In 2016, Neymar resumed his relationship with his former lover Bruna Marchesini. The romance ended, unable to withstand the test of distance and media attention. From time to time, news appears on the Internet about Neymar's romances with Russian girls. At the end of 2019, when the footballer attended the annual charity dinner of the EM Enfants du Monde association for Rwanda Aln, where other stars were invited, he was noticed in the company of Russian top model Sasha Luss. They spent the whole evening in pleasant communication, but after that there was no more information about their romance on the Internet. But in 2020, Neymar's name began to be mentioned again, this time he was suspected of having a romantic relationship with Russian Instagram model Katya Safarova. It is known that she is a regular at noisy parties and loves to visit places where famous personalities are invited. Ekaterina even posted photos from the festive party hugging Neymar on her Instagram profile (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation, it belongs to the Meta company, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation), which caused a stir. By the way, the Brazilian denies having a relationship with the Russian, saying that they are just friends.
Later, information appeared on the Internet about the athlete's new romance, this time with Natalya Barulich. Despite her Russian name, the dark-haired beauty turned out to be an American of Croatian origin. Journalists competed to write that the player had stolen his beloved from his friend, the popular Colombian singer Maluma. Barulich herself denied this information. Together with the footballer, Natalya managed to get on the covers of several fashion magazines. Joint photos also appeared on the Instagram accounts of both (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation, it belongs to the Meta company, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation), but at some point they were deleted. This made fans suspect that Neymar that this relationship did not become serious for the Brazilian. There were also sexual scandals in Neymar's life.

The athlete came to the meeting drunk, almost immediately began to harass her with kisses, and after receiving a refusal, he became angry and took possession of the model by force.
