Neymar is without a doubt one of the best footballers of all time. The PSG star has already come up with a crazy plan for the time after his active career.

At 29, Neymar still has a few years of active football ahead of him. After finishing his active career, the Paris Saint-Germain superstar wants to pursue his second great passion full-time: poker.

“It’s true. That is one of the things that I particularly like to do,” Neymar is quoted as saying at CNEWS. “I feel good and I think after football I will play tournaments and travel to tournaments that I always wanted to play but couldn’t play because of my career.”

Until it even gets that far, he is honing his skills in Paris. At PSG he often plays with goalkeeper Keylor Navas and midfielder Leandro Paredes. Neymar recognizes certain similarities between football and poker. “Focus is part of it. And the way you read your opponent is also very important.”

One of the most important things in football is reading the game, whatever he’s doing. It is also important to read your opponent and see where you can attack and in which direction you can go in order to create opportunities.

However, the focus in the coming years will be on football. In Paris, Neymar is said to be on the verge of extending his contract, which will expire in 2022. In the current season, the Brazilian has 21 goals in 22 games.
