The documentary about the private life of star Neymar has just been broadcast online on Netflix, talking about every hidden corner of the Brazilian striker’s entire career, including his relationship with superstar Lionel Messi.
Accordingly, Neymar said that when he moved from Santos to Barcelona in May 2013, Messi said the first time they met: “Hey buddy, don’t worry about me. I’m here to help you, keep working hard.”

This statement made a big impression on Neymar about Messi, who had become famous at Barcelona at that time, causing many comments that the Brazilian player would find it difficult to overcome the huge shadow of his Argentine opponent .
However, Neymar said: “Messi’s words when we first met, I think that was the support that I really needed.” Neymar’s father, Neymar Santos Sr., also said in the documentary about his son: “Neymar never wanted to be better than Messi, it was not about escaping from the shadow of this opponent. In fact, Neymar really likes Messi.”
Also in the first episode of the documentary about Neymar, titled “Neymar: Perfect Chaos”, which talks about a rape allegation involving the star, it shows that Neymar and his father (who is also his agent) had a conflict in handling the media crisis.
Neymar Santos Sr. always urged Neymar to be careful with his words and accept help. But Neymar reacted that his father had said too many things in public, making things more complicated.
