Neymar ‘avenged’ Mavie after seeing his daughter get hit by a ball behind the scenes of the derby between Santos and Corinthians, played last Wednesday. The star found the ‘culprit’ and joked with him at the Peixe’s training return this Thursday.
Little Mavie took a hit from the ball shortly before the match against Corinthians. Neymar was with his daughter on the pitch during the teams’ warm-up, and the little girl ended up being struck by a ball after a security guard failed to catch it. After the incident, the star picked his daughter up and tried to calm her down.
Neymar and the Santos squad played a small prank on Silas Gonçalves, the club’s security guard. For fun, the players formed the famous ‘Polish corridor’, which consists of a tunnel where the person walking through receives light slaps from the others.
“There you go, daughter, daddy is avenging you, okay?” Neymar says at the start of the video. “I’ve already apologized, man [laughs],” Silas replied. Even so, it didn’t spare the security guard from the prank.
At the end of the video, Neymar and Silas hugged, with no hard feelings about the prank. The Santos star also wrote in the post: “Maviezinha, daddy called his friends and avenged you,” with laughing emojis.
With the win over Corinthians, Santos got some breathing room in the fight against relegation. Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s team remains in 16th place, but now with 31 points, six more than Vitória, who top the relegation zone. The Leão, however, take the field this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Bahia, at home.
