Neymar, a star for Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil, advised Antony, another member of the national team, to keep being brazen and happy during matches.
The Brazilian international has drawn much criticism, particularly from former Manchester United players, for his showboating on Thursday against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.
While the scores were still locked at 0-0, Antony twice executed his signature 360-degree drag-back spin maneuver.
Neymar now supports his Brazilian teammate and encourages him to continue playing football the way he enjoys.
Neymar tagged Antony in an Instagram post where he shared a video of his countryman performing his spin maneuver and said, “Keep it up, don’t alter a thing! Try it, boy! Joy and audacity.
We are known for our art, and Antony had before stated that he was not changing anything, adding, “I will not quit doing what has brought me to where I am!”
