(9 years ago)“We didn't start from zero... started from minus 5”. So begins the story of Neymar Sr, which shows the profound contrast in the life of his son, who was once very poor and today is the most expensive player in the world.

The Brazilian attacker has transferred for 222m euros over the past summer from Barcelona to Paris Saitn-Germain, making the French club back into the world media spotlight.
Rihanna, Tiga, Naomi Campbell, the Kardashians, and Beckham are just a few of the world stars that have stayed on the floor of the French team's stadium after the transfer of Neymar, the Periscope broadcasts.
But media articles about wild parties and life like a Hollywood star have caused viewers to wonder if Neymar is turning his eyes off the ball.
But all too often, talent goes unfulfilled as more and more zeros appear at the bottom of the banking balance.
Growing up in Mogi das Cruz, on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil's last captain's life was “mizorie” at first.
The times were so difficult for football parents, Nadine mother and father, Neymar Sr, that they could not afford an ultrasound scan before the footballer was born.
And, at four months old, young Neymar miraculously survived being thrown out of an automobile during a terrible crash that left Dad with a broken rib.
Like a baby, Neymar had lived in a small rented house with no electricity.
Neymar's parents celebrated their first birthday, where Mother described the area as “a very low social neighbourhood”, adding “We lived there when there was a waste dump. ”
The whole family now had no choice with the addition of the child Rafaella but to go to the small house of the Newmar grandparents, where everything they had was a mattress.
And as young Neymar developed the ball skills on the street, his father worked three jobs as a manual worker, a mechanic and salesman just to keep a roof over everyone's heads.

This wasn't long ago, about 2000. We lived there until Neymar became a professional”, talking about Dad's life, Neymar Sr.
We've always helped him follow dreams since he was very old. As a child, he wanted to be everything Superman, Power Rangers. He was hyperactive and still is”.
And his father's commitment is something that Neymar has not forgotten, despite the growing popularity of the world.
Father and son
Their relationship has been important for each step in a career. It's no coincidence that Neymar bears Daddy's name on the fanele.
And it was never more obvious than in an Instagram message before signing the PSG, when Neymar wrote “I represent all my friends You are one of the best things I have in life. I love you, Daddy! ”
Neymar's firm closeness with the family does not stop there. He's got his sister's faces drawn on him, Raffaelas and Nadine's mother and son Davy Lucca.

Neymar debuted as a professional Santos football player at the age of 17, after failing to transfer him to the age of 14, Real Madrid.
After disappointment with Los Blankos, the father signed an agreement with the Brazilian side before negotiating any future transfers.
And when it finally made the transition to Europe to Barcelona in 2013, the whole family's life changed forever.
Acting as his son's agent, Neymar Sr won 35 million pounds by mediating the transfer a nine million-dollar advance before he gets 26 million pounds after finalising the deal.
We appreciate that Santos only received 15 million pounds to develop and educate as football player. /Periscopi
