NEYMAR has been criticized by his followers when it was discovered that he was using his phone in a manner that was deemed “very inappropriate” during the birthday celebration of his daughter.

A touching video that was shared on social media showed the Brazilian superstar enjoying the half birthday of his daughter Mavie with his ex-girlfriend Bruna Biancardi. Mavie was celebrating her first few months of life.

As they sang happy birthday to their kid, the exes could be seen putting their disagreements behind them and putting their differences behind them.

Fans with keen eyes saw that Neymar, who is 32 years old, was unable to take his eyes off his phone. This was in contrast to the fact that he was giving Mavie his whole attention.

After further investigation, it was discovered that the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player had been participating in a poker game using an online application.

During the time that Mavie’s family and friends were applauding and cheering for her, her father removed his hand from her and began tapping his phone, as if he were placing a wager.

As a result of what they had just witnessed, users of social media were left in a state of astonishment, and many of them were furious at the behavior of the celebrity.

Someone posted the following on X, which was once known as Twitter: “This guy is completely and utterly finished.” Poker is being played by a man in the middle of his daughter’s birthday celebration.

A different individual commented: “Neymar finishing up his little poker game in the middle of his daughter’s birthday hahaha.”

A third voiced their disapproval, saying, “Damn, man. Take a look at Neymar. It is not acceptable to do so.”

After reaching a transfer fee of about 76 million pounds in the summer of 2017, Neymar, who currently plays for the Saudi club Al Hilal, is among the wealthiest footballers in the world.

Only his salary are estimated to be worth more than £2.5 million per week, which is six times what he earned while working for Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite this, the Brazilian international player has only participated in five matches across all tournaments since beginning his career in August of 2023.

In October, while Neymar was serving his country on international duty, he suffered a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament, which will prevent him from playing for the rest of the season.

For the duration of his two-year contract in the Middle East, he has continued to make a lot of money, despite the fact that he has not played any games on the field.

In addition, it would appear that Neymar is making the most of his spare time by devoting a portion of it to playing poker online.

In the past, the Brazilian has been photographed in casinos placing a quantity of chips on the board before being taken into custody.

Despite the fact that Neymar has already made his World Series of Poker debut in Las Vegas in 2022, he has already declared his intention to pursue a career as a professional poker player once he has retired.

In the year 2020, after he had accepted a position as a cultural ambassador for PokerStars, he stated, “It is true that I intend to turn professional. I am quite confident in my ability to play poker, and I believe that as soon as my football career is ended, I will be able to compete in large tournaments.

“I started playing at the World Cup in 2014, and ever since then, I have been completely enamored with the sport.

When I play poker, I do so in a really aggressive manner. In addition to the Jack-Five, my favorite hands are a pair of tens, which is a reference to my shirt number.
