Neymar supports Bolsonaro's reelection in video on Tik Tok

Striker Neymar published a video this Thursday (29) in support of the re-election of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), in the first open political demonstration by a Brazilian national team player for Sunday's election (2).

The number 10 of the team, who will seek Brazil's sixth world championship at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, released a 13-second video on Tik Tok in which he dances and lip-syncs the president's campaign 'jingle'.

“Vote, vote and confirm: 22 is Bolsonaro”, repeats Neymar, 30 years old, in reference to the president's candidacy number, who is facing former president Luis Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), favorite in the polls.

A few minutes later, Bolsonaro reposted part of the video on his Twitter account, accompanied by a message of thanks in which he promotes his re-election and the search for 'Hexa' in Qatar.

The PSG striker published the video on his account with 8,1 million followers a day after sending a video to Bolsonaro thanking him for his visit to the Instituto Neymar Jr., a center that receives 3.000 children daily in Praia Grande, in the Santos region , where the player spent his childhood.

Neymar and Bolsonaro met at least once, in 2019, when they hugged before a match between Brazil and Argentina in the Copa América semifinals in Belo Horizonte.

A month ago, the president published a photo with a signed ball that he received as a gift from the player.

Although the team's shirt has become a symbol of President Bolsonaro's supporters, Neymar has until then remained on the sidelines of the electoral campaign.
