Paris Saint-Germain's '10', Neymar, showed his favoritism and unconditional support for the current President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, a week before the second round of the presidential elections.
"The World Cup is close. It would be wonderful, Bolsonaro reelected, Brazil champion and everyone happy," Neymar said while accompanying the far-right leader via an online transmission from Paris, amidst his political campaign in Sao Paulo.
The PSG star emphasized that Bolsonaro is the ideal political figure to continue leading the Brazilian nation.

In addition, the Sao Paulo-born star promised to make the '22' sign with his fingers to celebrate his first goal in the Qatar World Cup, where Brazil will debut on November 24 against Serbia.
The popular 'Ney' is the only elite Brazilian player who expresses his support for a presidential candidate, a special case among the majority of footballers who have chosen to remain silent.
