Neymar reacting to 95 year old Dalva Stelva who’s dreamed of him sending a kiss to her | 05.07.20

Neymar sends a message of support to Mexican football fan Gilberto Martinez.

Gilberto Martínez is one of several Mexican fans that made the trip to Russia. What made Gilberto's story so special was that he had planned to make the trip with his wife and two kids, Diego (8) and Mia (6), but he sadly had to make the trip without them, as they died in a traffic accident two months before the start of the tournament.

Martinez traveled to Russia without his family, but with friends where they watched 5 games. Three of his own country Mexico - including the one against Germany - one of Argentina (since that’s where his wife was born) and because his son wanted to see Neymar play he also bought tickets for Brasil. 

Martinez wore T-shirts of Mexico and Argentina that on the back said: “Vero, Diego, Mia, always with me.” And wore the badges around his neck, the photo-ID game passes of his wife and children.

Thanks to Mexican goalie Guillermo Ochoa the story also came to the attention of Neymar who recorder the video above for Gilberto. "Hello Gilberto, I'm here to say hello, and to thank you for your affection”, says Neymar in the video. “I can't imagine how you've spent the last few months and how hard it's been for you, but you have to be strong for your family and fulfill your dream. Thank you for your words and for being fond of Brazilian football, I hope to keep playing like this while being happy on the pitch, because having fans like your boy or mine is what makes me happy."

Neymar recording a message with a few of the other players from the Seleçao for the 8 year old Pedro Henrique. 

Pedro lives alone with his mother after his father sadly died when he was 2 years old. Just like many other children his age Pedro wanted to have the World Cup Panini cards, but since his mother couldn’t afford them he decided to draw them himself. 

He drew 126 players and even made a little Panini book! In school he studies the collective album and then draws the players. 

While being a guest on the show Caldeirão do Huck they showed him this video message and gave him a Panini book + all the stickers to 100% complete his album.

Watching the video for the first time Matheus was thrilled and cried while he listened to the encouraging words of Neymar a player who he idolizes a lot.

Watch Neymar’s message and Matheus reaction to it in the video.

  His family wrote the following with the video message of Neymar:  “I can not thank you enough. I really have no words to say how happy my brother was. Thank you @neymarjr! Thank you very much. Our warrior will come out of this soon, God willing ❤️ 

Thank you @mariahdiaspeople who helped me in inexplicable ways and who gave us a huge force! We are still in shock and we end at the ICU INFANTIL! Everyone cried, giant emotion! He (Arthur) even had lunch and was hungry! Thank you, thank you and thank you! These days have been very difficult and this has given us strength, all these videos, the messages, T U D O! Thank you again @neymarjr.”

With the reaction video of Arthur his family wrote:  “This was our warrior’s REACTION to @neymarjr’s video and Arthurzinho has a message to give as follows. Ney: “When I leave here and have healed, I’m going to play ball with you.” And if it depends on me you will. I’ll move worlds and backgrounds to make it happen! Thank you @mariahdiaspeople who helped us with all of this. Thank you for being the light. Enjoy this wonderful video! I already sent your e-mail, Mariah! He still did not really thank the video, because it was very painful (chemo effect) and went to rest! ❤️❤️❤️ @butgix”
