KUALA LUMPUR: A SELECTED group of lucky Victoria Institution (VI) boys got the football lesson of their lives today when none other than Neymar -- Barcelona's latest superstar dropped by for a kickabout with them.
The 21-year-old Brazilian forward who will lead the Barcelona foward line together with Argentinan Lionel Messi in their match against the Malaysian national football team in Stadium Bukit Jalil on Saturday (10 Aug) took some time off from the visitor's busy schedule to drop by the school field.
He dazzled the star-struck kids with his trademark step-over moves, close ball control and juggling with both feet and head.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that any of the boys spoke Brazilian Portuguese so the opportunity to pick up advice from Neymar was confined strictly to his ability to mesmerise them with his ball skills.
The quick visit over, Neymar left to rejoin the rest of the Barca team for their close-door training session -- indication no doubt that they think Malaysia will offer stiffer resistance unlike the Thais who they thrashed recently with a hatful of goals.
News of Neymar's visit spread like wildfire on social media amongst KL schoolboys who expressed envy at the luck of the VI boys.
One from Haziq in Sri Gombak said he may not be a VI student but was proud nonetheless, sharing in the joy that Neymar came to a Malaysia School.
