Neymar continues to be a topic of discussion while recovering from a serious injury and a few days after giving birth to his daughter. This time it was the party that the Al Hilal striker organized on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro.
This caused controversy because he was asked to rest after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee in Brazil’s loss to Uruguay in the South American World Cup qualifier.
According to journalist Leo Dias’ website, the 31-year-old striker held a two-day party at his mansion in Mangaratiba, a lake area located 85 km from Rio. It was a grand affair with many guests and Ney’s friends.
Those present said that Neymar’s injury did not affect him much because he still danced and played normally. “Only broke his leg on the field, on the dance floor he danced like crazy,” one of the sources said on the above mentioned site.
The former Santos striker joined Al Hilal in August and signed a two-year contract worth $329 million (320 million euros), which could reach $412 million thanks to bonuses and commercial agreements. His monthly salary is around 13.4 million dollars (13 million euros), or 412 thousand dollars (400 thousand euros) per day.
The person who indirectly mentioned Neymar was Brazilian President Lula da Silva through praising Lionel Messi for winning the 8th Golden Ball: “Messi should set an example for Brazilian players. 36-year-old world champion with Ballon d’Or and everything. Messi is a source of inspiration for these children. Anyone who wants to win the Golden Ball must be dedicated, they must be professional. It doesn’t go with the party, it doesn’t go with the party night.”
