Santos superstar Neymar brought joy to a child battling a serious illness. The footballer met with 10-year-old Vicente ahead of his team's friendly match, as shared by the official Santos Instagram account.
The video captures Neymar interacting with the boy, who was in a wheelchair. The Brazilian also gifted Vicente his own signed jersey and a Santos-branded bucket hat.
“An unforgettable day for little Vicente! 🤍🖤 At just 10 years old, he suffers from a rare degenerative syndrome. Despite all the challenges, Vicente has never stopped dreaming, and today, one of those dreams came true in Espírito Santo: meeting his idol, Neymar. The meeting took place on the day of the Peixe’s friendly in Cariacica and will forever remain in the memory of everyone who witnessed this moment!” the caption under the video reads.
It’s worth noting that yesterday Santos played a friendly match against Desportiva.
