"Here are five things you may not know about Neymar, each of which will reshape your perception!

1. In an episode of the American animated sitcom ""The Simpsons,"" it predicted that Neymar would suffer an injury during the 2014 World Cup. Lo and behold, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Neymar indeed suffered a serious injury during the second round match against Chile, forcing him to withdraw for treatment. This prediction became a reality.

2. Neymar once revealed his post-retirement ambition to become a professional poker player, all inspired by his luck in casinos. Off the field, Neymar has a deep love for playing poker, to the extent that he even registered for the World Series of Poker after making millions casually at casinos. Ironically, he got eliminated in the first round! Nevertheless, this setback didn't dampen his enthusiasm, and Neymar even named his dogs ""Poker.""

3. In a 2014 World Cup match against Cameroon, Neymar had a brilliant performance, scoring two goals. However, his post-match actions were far from wise. Neymar wore underwear from a brand different from the official sponsor of the Brazilian team, and he inadvertently revealed the underwear logo in the player tunnel. This incident was captured by cameras and led to an investigation by the Brazilian Football Confederation, resulting in a fine of $125,000.

4. Neymar was born in a poverty-stricken neighborhood where his family struggled to pay even the water and electricity bills. One day, Neymar's father gave him money to pay the electricity bill, but Neymar had a sudden idea. He believed that buying a lottery ticket would quickly fulfill his dream of owning a luxury car. After buying the ticket, Neymar spent a sleepless night, envisioning himself driving a fancy car. However, instead of winning a prize, he woke up the next day to find that the electricity had been cut off due to unpaid bills!

5. In a previous Ligue 1 match, Neymar was fouled and brought down by several Lille players while attempting a breakthrough. He suffered a severe ankle injury and lay writhing in pain on the ground before being stretchered off. This foul incident caused a heated debate after the game. The Lille player, Mendes, not only faced criticism from countless fans but also received death threats. He lived in constant fear, with threats looming every day, until Neymar recovered and returned to the field. Only then was Mendes released from this ordeal, slowly emerging from the shadows.

These intriguing facts shed light on Neymar's life beyond the football pitch."

Unfortunately, Neymar doesn't put in the effort; otherwise, his talent is greater than Messi's.

It's amusing! So, Neymar enjoys gambling too? Haha, he even aspired to be a professional poker player, and at a young age, he wanted to get rich through the lottery.
