BRASÍLIA (dpa-AFX) – A week before the ballot for the presidential office in Brazil, football superstar Neymar asked for support for right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. “People know what’s best for our Brazil,” the Paris Saint-Germain striker said in a live match with Bolsonaro on Saturday. Ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year, Neymar said: “It would be wonderful: Bolsonaro re-elected, champion of Brazil and all happy.”

After his first goal in Qatar he will show the number 22 with his fingers, Neymar said. The right-wing incumbent advertises his party with the number 22 during his election campaign.
Neymar explained that Bolsonaro represents values very similar to his own and those of his family. “I realized I needed this strength, I know it would help a lot of people,” said the 30-year-old. He then invites all undecided people to vote for Bolsonaro.
In the first round of voting in early October, Bolsonaro did surprisingly well, contrary to the polls. Before next Sunday’s run-off, the race is now fully open again. Both Bolsonaro and his competitor, former left-wing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, are currently fighting for every vote and are trying to get individual social groups to their side.
