Football stars Neymar and Gabriel Jesus play Counter-Strike with FURIA

Neymar plays with other football stars a round of Counter-Strike on the channel of the eSports organisation at FURIA.

The Brazilian from Paris St. Germain has been active in the eSports title for a long time and is also friends with CS professionals.

What do soccer players do in their spare time? Right, playing Counter-Strike. At least that applies to one of the best players in the world: Neymar Junior from the Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. Last week there was a show match on the Twitch channel of the Brazilian eSports organisation FURIA. In addition to Neymar, football stars Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, and Arthur Melo from FC Barcelona also played. The games were played on the revised Map Cache and Mirage.

On Mirage it went well for Neymar. The 27-year-old football professional probably published one scene of the round on his Instagram account on Monday, not without pride. Neymar was able to win a round in a situation where he was outnumbered. The Brazilian has already been registered on Steam for about two years for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Currently, Neymar has the nickname “ene10ta”.

Neymar has had a connection to greats of the eSports scene in South America for quite some time and is a fan of FURIA. Neymar’s list of Steam friends includes Yuri “yuurih” Santos and Vinicius “VINI” Figueiredo, the stars of FURIA. Also, MIBR stars Fernando “fer” Alvarenga and Epitácio “TACO” de Melo, who have been among the Brazilian CS greats since their time with SK Gaming, also belong to this group. The football pro also maintains friendly contact with FaZe star Marcelo “coldzera” David.
