Atletico Mineiro Neymar: Santos

Neymar Dept: On Wednesday night Santos forward Neymar emerged from the tunnel at the Vila Belmiro wearing the No. 200 jersey and sporting a hairstyle unusually more modest than the mohawk-rooster-mullet thing that's typically perched upon his head, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Only hours before kickoff against Atletico Mineiro Neymar's flight from Europe had landed in S o Paulo. His two goals against Japan on Tuesday had helped the Brazilian national side to a 4-0 win at a neutral site in Poland -- a match in which he played 85 minutes and santos' brilliant Neymar celebrates after scoring for Sao Paulo. The number -- in recognition of his 200th appearance for the S o Paulo side. They do these types of things in Brazil. The same night Chinese attacker Chen Zhizhao was also given the No. 200 shirt, but in this instance it was to honour 200 years of Chinese immigration to Brazil. The hair -- a likely result of travel fatigue. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
