Neymar missed the tournament as he is recuperating from the ACL injury he suffered on international duty in November, which prematurely ended his first season with Al-Hilal.

Neymar buys jersey from street vendors

As seen in footage circulating on social media, the former Barcelona star was on his way to the SOFI Stadium, where the Samba Boys took on Costa Rica, when he stopped for a moment with street vendors.

He wanted to buy a Brazil jersey, and unknown to the fans, it was the superstar in front of them, and on realising, they rushed to his car with their phones out for selfies.

Another noticeable thing in the encounter was his speaking English, though not fluent, he displayed a basic understanding of the language before the conversation switched to Portuguese.

The moment appeared to be the last happy one he had before the match, as he was visibly agitated throughout the game due to Brazil’s poor display in their opening match.
