This Sunday evening, Neymar Jr. delivered a world-class performance against Lorient. In a meeting where the Parisians easily won (5-1), the Brazilian international scored twice and impressed with perfectly mastered technical gestures.
After this match, considered by some to be the best of his season, the striker had a little thought for his detractors. On Instagram, he reposted a video of his little bridge against Fabien Lemoine, who plays in the middle position in Lorient. A sequence that he accompanied with the comment: “I was drunk that’s why it happened… as they say” and several hilarious emojis.
Ironically, the former Barça player thus responded to criticism of his lifestyle. Neymar is indeed a bon vivant, who seems to appreciate good meals, debauched evenings and alcohol. A behavior that some have repeatedly denounced and used to justify his poor performance at the start of the season, such as journalist Daniel Riolo.
