Neymar: The Road to Football and the Legend of Love Affairs
He is Brazilian soccer’s child prodigy, Neymar, and at 30 years old, he is both a samba dancer on the field and a master of flirtation off it. He has conquered fans with his dazzling skills and shocked the world with his dazzling love history. In Neymar’s mind, is soccer or beauty more important?
1. Gifted, the Birth of a Superstar
On February 5, 1992, Neymar was born in Mogi das Cruzes, one of the birthplaces of Brazilian soccer. His father, a former soccer player, was Neymar’s inspirational coach from an early age, passing on his experience and skills to his son. Neymar received an exceptionally rich soccer education in the soccer-loving country of Brazil. From an early age, he played soccer on the streets, displaying amazing skills, always easily dribbling past opponents several times his own size, and at the age of six, Neymar was spotted by an amateur team coach and recruited to begin training.

In the amateur team, he quickly became a dazzling new star. Despite his small stature, Neymar showed amazing speed, agility, and explosive power. Always able to demonstrate amazing individual ability in tight spaces, he wowed his coaches and heralded the rise of a superstar. In 2003, at the age of 11, Neymar officially began his professional career by joining the youth team of Brazilian giants Santos. Unlike amateur teams, professional clubs offer more systematic and rigorous training, providing Neymar with the opportunity to improve his soccer skills. At the Santos youth camp, Neymar continued to excel. He is a fast dribbler with excellent turning and crossing ability. Backed by his individual talent, Neymar quickly became the centerpiece and number one star of the youth team, and at the age of 17, he made his first-team debut for Santos, scoring a staggering 13 goals over the course of the season. The fact that a 17-year-old could perform so well in the top flight heralded the rise of a star.
And Neymar did just that, becoming the league’s rookie of the year. Since then, the Brazilian star has been making a name for himself in the soccer world. Wearing the No. 11 jersey, he brings endless inspiration and power to the team with his agile pace and abundant skills. Often producing superb goals and wowing the crowds, Neymar scored 42 goals in a single season in 2010 at the age of 18 to help Santos win the state league title. He also won the best player of the year and other important awards, a time of fame, and became the Brazilian domestic superstar. In 2013, Neymar joined La Liga giants Barcelona for a record-breaking €57 million transfer fee. At Messi’s Barcelona, Neymar quickly integrated into the team, forming the “MSN” iron triangle with Messi and Suárez. During his time at Barcelona, Neymar played well and became an important part of the team’s offense. He wore the No. 11 jersey and led the team to win the La Liga and Champions League double.
Especially in the Champions League final, Neymar scored a key goal to help Barcelona beat Juventus 3–1 and win the Champions League title. In 2017, Neymar joined French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of €222 million, setting a new world record for soccer transfers. At the Ligue 1 giants, Neymar continued to show excellent offensive ability and, alongside Mbappé, was known as the strongest offensive partnership in the world today. Neymar was honored as the Ligue 1 MVP for two consecutive years and was at the heart of Paris’ championship run. His superb individual ability is reminiscent of the greatest players in the history of Brazilian soccer, Pelé and Ronaldo. Today, Neymar is one of the world’s top players, a centerpiece and a leader in teams wherever he plays. He has conquered the soccer world with his talent. For Neymar, the soccer field is like his backyard, a stage for him to showcase his talent. People’s eyes are focused on the brilliance of this Brazilian gem.
2. Emotional and Legendary
In addition to his soccer accomplishments, Neymar is also a highly regarded “player” in his personal life. At 17 years old, Neymar was still an ordinary high school student, but he had already experienced his first taste of love. He had a relationship with his sister’s best friend, Karolina, and she became pregnant. For a 17-year-old, this was certainly a huge challenge. However, Neymar didn’t run away from his responsibility and tried his best to make amends by paying Karolina monthly child support. This incident made Neymar more mature and cautious about his future relationships. However, as his fame rose, Neymar seemed to pursue beauty more than ever. He has publicly dated several showbiz stars such as models and actors. Each of these girlfriends has a hot body and striking looks, which perfectly fit Neymar’s aesthetic. But surprisingly, Neymar’s relationships with all these girlfriends did not last very long—some lasted only a few months, and some even ended after just a few weeks.
It seems that for Neymar, they were just fleeting novelties, and he was only looking for pleasure and excitement, not truly committing to them. In 2011, Neymar began a steady relationship with supermodel Bruna Marquez, which was also his longest-lasting relationship. The two frequently showed their love on social media and seemed sweet. However, the relationship also went through many breakups and reconciliations; Neymar and Bruna had many quarrels and splits due to small misunderstandings but later reunited repeatedly. Until 2018, Neymar and Bruna officially announced their breakup, ending the relationship that had lasted seven years. This relationship was considered the most stable chapter in Neymar’s love life. After the breakup, Neymar returned to his single life. Since then, he has had several girlfriends, including models and actors. Unlike in the past, Neymar seems to be more restrained, no longer playing with emotions as he wishes. But even so, Neymar’s desire for companionship never seems to be satisfied.
As a result, his relationships with new lovers still change frequently, albeit lasting relatively longer. This year, Neymar’s current girlfriend, also named Bruna, announced her pregnancy. Whether this relationship can truly capture Neymar’s heart remains to be seen. After all, Neymar has always been a seasoned “player” when it comes to relationships.
3. The Final Question
Do you see Neymar as the “last samba dancer” or the “master of the game”? In my opinion, Neymar is undoubtedly a master of his craft in today’s soccer world, and his individual ability is remarkable. However, he is also a bit of a loose cannon in his love life and is known to have had many affairs. The real question, though, is: Who are we to judge another person’s lifestyle? Everyone has the right to choose their own life. If we are disappointed in Neymar, we might as well turn our attention to those who are more in need of care. Criticizing Neymar also reflects our own biases.
It is because he is a star that people have such extreme views of his behavior. However, do ordinary people not have similar struggles and weaknesses? Who are we to criticize others? If we truly care about Neymar, we might as well influence him with sincere kindness instead of mean-spirited accusations. To inspire a person with warmth is often more effective than harsh
