Spike Lee visits Seleção training and jokes about Neymar: "He's my guy"
Carlo Ancelotti continued the preparation of the Brazilian team thinking about their debut in the World Cup against Morocco, next Saturday (13), at 7 pm (Brasília time). Moments before the journalists were removed from training, Spike Lee arrived at the training center in Morristown, in the United States.
Legendary film director and resident of New York, Spike Lee was invited by the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) to attend the activity, which was also attended by sponsors and guests.
Spike Lee's visit to the Brazilian national team's training drew immediate attention. As soon as he appeared, the renowned North American director was surrounded by reporters interested in hearing his opinions on football and the team led by Brazil.
Among the topics discussed, Neymar's name quickly emerged. When asked about the attacker, Lee responded briefly and casually: "That's my guy."
Although he enjoyed the meeting with the Brazilian players, the 69-year-old filmmaker had another sporting commitment in mind. This Wednesday (10), his attention is focused on the NBA Finals, especially the fourth match in the decisive series.
Before leaving the press area, Lee reinforced his passion for basketball and his hometown team by repeating several times: "Knicks, Knicks, Knicks."
The New York team enters the court against the San Antonio Spurs with the chance to extend their lead in the title race. If they win at home, the team will take a 3-1 lead in the series. Fanatical Knicks fan, Spike Lee will be present at the arena to watch the match closely.
