Since the football season started, it seems that Neymar has decided to take matters into his own hands.

The Brazilian winger, who has mostly disappointed since arriving at PSG in 2017, shows an impressive ability in the uniform of the team from the city of lights, an ability that has led to quite a few great compliments towards him.

At the same time, in recent days he has again been in the spotlight from a negative point of view, this after he expressed support for the election campaign of the current president of Brazil - Jair Bolsonaro.

Neymar uploaded a TikTok video in which he appears to sing and imitate Bolsonaro's controversial campaign broadcast and of course earned him a response from the president himself who thanked him and said: "Neymar, thank you. Thank you for your concern, not for my fate, but for the fate of your country."

Bolsonaro also said: "Neymar lives abroad, but he sees what is happening in the world.

He can say to himself 'I don't lack anything, but I don't want my loved ones to suffer like the residents of countries ruled by the left'.

He has a huge following among young people who are voting for the first time."

In contrast to the president who was happy about Neymar's expression of his position, quite a few people in the player's homeland criticized him and claimed that he is not aware of Bolsonaro's lack of concern for the weaker classes in society, for homophobia that rears its head and economic issues that tear the poor residents apart.

Neymar responded to the criticism and claimed in a tweet on Twitter: "We talk about democracy and many things, but when someone has a different opinion they are attacked by the same people who talk about democracy. Go think."
