Corona crisis? Which corona crisis?
Regardless of the corona pandemic, superstar Neymar is reportedly planning a glamorous New Year’s party in his Brazilian homeland. The South American’s lawyers deny this.
Mini jets, helicopters and noise barriers
Work is still underway on the hangar for the private mini-jets and helicopters, the noise barriers to appease the neighbors who need quiet have already been installed. Because Brazil’s superstar Neymar wants to really let it rip on New Year’s Eve. Corona crisis? Which corona crisis?
It is undisputed that the New Year will be celebrated extensively on the 10,000 square meter property in the posh coastal town of Magaratiba. But are there 500 guests? 150? Or just the family clan including a physiotherapist, as the lawyers of the 28-year-old star striker announced on AFP request.
Cell phone ban for party guests
In any case, the Brazilian media unanimously report that the party crowd has to hand them in at the entrance, they don’t want videos and photos on the net. Private parties are not strictly prohibited in the state of Rio de Janeiro, but the usual distance rules naturally also apply in Brazil.
But Neymar does not seem to have to fear an unannounced inspection. His guests should also be able to enjoy the spacious pool, several saunas and various other amenities undisturbed. “We lack the manpower to review every single celebration,” said an official statement from the local authorities.
Brazil hit hard by Corona
The largest South American country has been hit harder by the pandemic than almost any other country. Almost 193,000 people died of or with the coronavirus, the number of infected people is 723,000.
The carelessness, perhaps even ignorance of Neymar, who is under contract with the French champions Paris St. Germain, is more and more a thorn in the side of many of his compatriots. More and more often, the kicker has recently been seen alongside President Jair Bolsonaro.
Neymar is on sick leave
The right-wing populist repeatedly downplays the corona risk, although he himself contracted COVID-19 in July. The 65-year-old also spoke out against vaccinations.
The fact that the capricious star can spend such an extensive home vacation is due to a sprain in his left ankle. Neymar contracted the injury on December 13 when the defending champions lost 1-0 at home to Olympique Lyon and has been on sick leave since then.
The Champions League finalist went onto the pitch three times without him. The aim is to make a comeback on January 6th against AS St. Etienne, if “party beast” Neymar has a clear head again – and is back in France in time.
