Presidential in Brazil: in a video, Dani Alves shows his support for Jair Bolsonaro

After Neymar, Lucas Moura and others, it is Dani Alves' turn to proclaim his support for Jair Bolsonaro in view of the Brazilian presidential election, the result of which will be known on Sunday evening.

The far-right candidate, who is seeking re-election against ex-president Lula, continues to garner support from current or former Auriverde internationals.

This Sunday, Dani Alves, who notably worked for PSG, FC Barcelona or even Juventus Turin, published an unequivocal video on social networks.

He proclaims his love for Brazil and takes up in his words a slogan which was that of Bolsonaro during his first campaign in 2018, namely "Brazil above all, God above all".

If he does not say clearly and clearly that he will vote for Bolsonaro, it is difficult to see anything else.

Especially since his video was shared on Twitter by the candidate's son.

Marquinhos does not speak

The man with 124 caps with Brazil is far from the only one to have shown his support for the outgoing president.

Neymar, in particular, had published a video on TikTok in which he covers a song calling for a vote in favor of Jair Bolsonaro.

In front of the critics, he split a tweet to justify his choice.

“We talk about democracy and a lot of things, but when someone has a different opinion they are attacked by these same people who talk about democracy.

Go figure,” he wrote.

Besides Neymar, former Parisian Lucas Moura also supports Jair Bolsonaro.

In 2018, Ronaldinho or even Rivaldo had expressed their satisfaction after the election of the populist leader.

Falam em democracia e um montão de coisa, mas quando alguém tem um opinião diferente é atacado pelas próprias pessoas que falam em democracia.

Gonna hear 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

Conversely, Raï, passed by Paris Saint-Germain and recently became a shareholder of Paris FC, or Juninho, former glory of Olympique Lyonnais, are among the opponents of the populist positions of Jair Bolsonaro and call to vote in favor by Lula.

Others, on the other hand, want to be more measured.

Saturday evening, after the success of PSG against Nice in Ligue 1 (2-1), defender Marquinhos was questioned on this subject and preferred to evade the question.

“In every election, there are debates.

Everyone just has to think carefully about their vote, to make the right choice.

You also have to respect both sides.

Some think one way, some another.

That's politics, that's also democracy, but before going to vote I advise everyone to study well, to look carefully at what each candidate can give him.

Make your choice well, and that's it,” he said.
