Neymar escolheu uma bicicleta para lembrar Pelé. Nesta sexta-feira, no treino do Santos, o camisa 10 acertou um gol de bicicleta e publicou o lance nas redes sociais, justamente no dia em que o Rei do Futebol completaria 86 anos.
O trabalho aconteceu no centro de treinamento que leva o nome de Pelé, o maior 10 da história do Santos.
Na publicação, o vídeo do gol aparece ao lado de uma foto de Pelé também marcando de bicicleta. A legenda resume a intenção: "Gol do treino em homenagem ao REI". O perfil de Pelé foi marcado na postagem.
A mesma postagem traz uma foto de grupo. Ao lado de Neymar estão Gabriel Bontempo, Willian Arão, Coutinho e Arthur, além de Rodinei, Cebolinha, Rony e Gabigol. Todos aparecem com a camisa que homenageia o Rei.
Pelé morreu no fim de 2022, em 29 de dezembro, aos 82 anos. Nesta sexta, a Vila Belmiro também sediou uma homenagem pelos 86 anos do Rei do Futebol.
O gesto tem peso simbólico. A camisa 10 do Santos é a mesma que Pelé imortalizou, e o registro do treino virou homenagem antes de qualquer partida oficial: não houve jogo na data, apenas o lance publicado e a lembrança do aniversário.
A imagem do grupo com a camisa de tributo fecha o conjunto: o clube transformou um treino de sexta em celebração ao seu maior ídolo, com o atual dono da 10 na frente da cena.
