Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil forward Neymar Jr is one of the world’s best footballers.
His accomplishments are endless. At club level, he has won 30 trophies so far during his distinguished career. He has been named in the UEFA Team of the Year twice and won the Confederations Cup with Brazil in 2013.
The forward is the subject of world football’s all-time transfer record, having signed for PSG from Barcelona for a fee of €222 million in 2017.
Neymar Jr on football and fashion
Away from football, one of Neymar Jr’s biggest passions is fashion. He has recently launched a new range with Superdry. The range is based around sustainability and uses 100 per cent organic cotton.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sporf, in collaboration with Superdry, Neymar Jr discussed who he believes the best-dressed footballer of all time is – and who has the best and worst fashion sense in the current PSG dressing room.
He explained: “Football and fashion are always connected. I think that, for me, the best-dressed footballer was [David] Beckham, although he doesn’t play anymore.
“At the club, in the dressing room, I think that Sergio Ramos is very stylish.”
Neymar Jr then added: “The one with the least style is Ander Herrera. He is not a friend of fashion. He is not good at getting dressed. LOL.”
Neymar Jr on Brazil teammates and gaming
Away from football, Neymar Jr also loves gaming. He is a huge eSports fan, and in 2020 he joined the Facebook Gaming platform. The Brazil star streams video games live to his Facebook following, which tops over 250 million people.
He said in a press release accompanying the announcement: “I’m very happy to partner with Facebook Gaming on my livestreams! The gaming world has always been one of my greatest passions after football, and I can barely wait to hang out and have fun with everyone who also shares this passion.”
Speaking to Sporf about his gaming, Neymar Jr revealed that he regularly plays games with his international teammates. He also discussed which player was best – and which was worst.
He explained: “I returned to playing five or six years ago. I spent around three or four hours a day playing, more or less. When I don’t have much to do, obviously.
“We always play together – me, [Lucas] Paqueta, Casemiro, [Gabriel] Jesus and Arthur.
“Who is the best? The best of them, I think, is Casemiro, and the worst is Arthur. He will kill me.”
Neymar Jr then revealed whether he would consider playing an eSports tournament in the future.
He said: “I don’t know if I would play an eSports tournament, because I think it requires a lot of training time. It has to be really good. I know how to play, I am good, but I am not at a professional level.”
