The 974 Stadium in Doha has brought together four world champions on Monday such as Kaká, Cafú, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos. His reaction has been highly commented after Casemiro scored 1-0 for Brazil against Switzerland and qualified the Canarinha for the round of 16. However, they have not been the only protagonists in the stands of the venue.
If the four former soccer players of the Brazilian team were in the box of honor, who aroused the applause of the public every time one of them appeared on the screen, something also happened in another part of the stadium that made many of those present go crazy. And it is that minutes before the game started, a man identical to Neymar appeared.
Wearing a cap, sunglasses and a Brazilian training shirt, as well as a bandage on his right ankle to simulate that it was touched, many thought it was the same Neymar, who was injured in Brazil’s victory against Serbia (2- 0).
Actually, the man’s resemblance to Neymar is complete, which justified the confusion of some of those present at Stadium 974. However, they finally realized that it was a double and that it was not the first time he had been seen by Doha and, therefore, that he was confused with the Brazilian attacker.
In fact, the ‘real’ Neymar was not present in the peculiar stadium in Doha, which is built with containers, and followed the game from the canarinha hotel.
Neymar’s presence at the hotel was first confirmed by the Brazilian federation and later by the player himself, when he posted a photo on his social media supporting his team.
