The Brazilian Neymar da Silva, the French player of Paris Saint-Germain, sent a new message of support to his compatriot, Vinicius Junior, the Real Madrid winger.
Vinicius was subjected to a big campaign, which Real Madrid described as “racist”, due to great criticism of the way he celebrated after scoring against the opponents this season.
And Koke, the Atletico Madrid midfielder, had warned Vinicius before the upcoming Madrid derby, next Sunday, at the Wanda Metropolitano, at the top of the sixth round of the Spanish League.
The Atletico captain said in a press statement before facing Real Madrid: “If Vinicius scores a goal and decides to celebrate it by dancing, he does what he wants, but there will certainly be a problem, and this is normal.”
Neymar increased the atmosphere of the derby inflamed by publishing a picture of Vinicius’ celebration through his account on “Instagram”, where he sent a message to him, saying: “Kick the ball, dance and be you, happy as you are, come on, my son, our next goal is to dance.”
In a new message, Neymar wrote on his Twitter account: “Am I the only one who woke up and wanted Vinicius to score a goal in the derby?”
This message came suddenly, although Neymar does not like Real Madrid and does not prefer to follow his matches at all, according to his statements on the “BN Sports” network earlier.
Neymar said at the time, “I do not like Real Madrid, and I do not watch the matches of this team, sometimes I am satisfied with a few of them, but I follow them until the end.”
And he concluded: “I only watch the final matches, or things like that (he means the important matches),” but it seems that Neymar has abandoned his principles in support of his friend Vinicius Junior.
