What Neymar said
Speaking with a Brazilian content creator, Neymar was quizzed about a number of football-related questions, one of which stood out.
The Al-Hilal forward was comically asked to name the ugliest footballer he ever played with. Clearly amused by the question, the 33-year-old had a laugh, before naming his Brazilian teammate Vinicius Jr.

“The ugliest player I played with? F*ck, I’ve played soo many, man, it’s a good competition. F*ck, with all due respect... Vini Jr, he hurts man [laughs],” Neymar said, as translated by Ginga Bonito. “Look Vini I love you but bro. The good thing is that he’s funny so it makes up for it.”
Meanwhile, Vinicius continues in his struggle to truly transition into Brazil's next talisman, with Neymar in the twilight of his career and struggling with recurring injury problems.
He has only scored three goals in 31 appearances for Brazil, the last coming a year ago in the 4-1 international friendly victory over South Korea. Of his previous 10 games for Brazil, the Selecao have only managed three wins, drawing four times, and losing three.
Meanwhile, though Football is a sport filled with drama, skill and passion, there are lots of funny named football players as it also has its fair share of humour.
