Neymar shows his poker face
Posted Wednesday, August 26, 2015 by Marca.com
Neymar and Gerard Pique attended the PokerStars tournament being hosted at the moment at the Barcelona Casino.
The Brazilian, who is still recovering from a bout of the mumps, put in an appearance as the face of the brand sponsoring the event following a workout at the Joan Gamper sports facilities while the rest of the squad enjoyed a day off.
Gerard Pique revealed that the card game is not a favourite pastime amongst the 'Azulgranas', saying: "Poker is a hobby like any other; it's not like football where you have to get results. I come along for a bit of fun. Not many of the Barça squad play, there are a few in the national team and there were a lot in England. I started playing when I was at United".
The centre-back added that if he could choose some opponents from the world of football for a game, he would go for Alex Ferguson, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, John O'Shea and Neymar.
