00:00Hey everyone, how's it going? Today's Lance report is covering a pretty different kind of event, right?
00:05We, who are beat reporters, are used to going to the games, to the training sessions,
00:09In some events as well, of course, promoted by the club, but today the event was held by the Neymar Junior Institute.
00:16The star player Ídolo dos Santos, who participated in the sixth auction of this institute,
00:21which is headquartered in the Baixada Santista region, Praia Grande,
00:24And today, Monday, August 3rd, the day before Santos' match against Remo,
00:30second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil,
00:33Monday night in the capital of São Paulo, here in a famous concert hall,
00:38Neymar and his family hosted yet another grand and important event.
00:42In terms of fundraising, right, for the life of this social project that has existed for over 10 years.
00:50So, I'm here to tell you a little bit about what goes on behind the scenes.
00:52because his name, ever since I was at Vila Belmiro, on Monday, no, right, on Saturday,
00:58In the match against Remo, the game ended in a 0-0 draw, which was quite frustrating because Santos created many opportunities.
01:04But they couldn't even build up a lead, however small, to finally win.
01:09a certain tranquility, let's say, for the return match,
01:13which will be this Tuesday, at 9:30 pm, at Mangueirão,
01:16The Santos delegation trained this morning, concluding their preparations.
01:22so that, in the afternoon, he could leave Santos, right, and go to Guarulhos airport.
01:27And on a chartered flight to Pará, but without Neymar, right?
01:31This was the topic of discussion last Saturday.
01:33Cuca was asked in the press conference about whether or not Neymar would be present.
01:38precisely because of the physical condition resulting from returning from the World Cup,
01:42working for a very high number of minutes, after more than 70 days, right?
01:48So Cuca left his participation in Tuesday's match, let's say, open-ended.
01:53And that's where all the controversy began: is Neymar prioritizing Santos or not?
01:58How will he show up at the auction, but Santos needs him for this game.
02:02And then, on Monday morning, the club ended up issuing a statement,
02:05saying that he will join the Santos delegation,
02:09So tomorrow morning he travels, on Tuesday, at lunchtime,
02:12He will already be having lunch with the Santos squad at their training camp.
02:16So there's all this context, right, of participation,
02:20a long and tiring trip, he, for example, did not go to Venezuela,
02:23which was a similar trip, in the same format and duration,
02:27But I'm here to talk a little about what I saw at the auction, right?
02:30I arrived here at the time the registration opened,
02:32six o'clock in the afternoon, more than two hours of waiting,
02:35It was a parallel line, the line for journalists and the line for guests.
02:39The staff made the final adjustments, such as placing the sponsor on the backdrop.
02:44That's the back of the red carpet where the guests end up arriving.
02:48Hanging the cloth, you could see the staircase, the lighting,
02:51Everything was finished a little bit last minute, wasn't it?
02:54And when I got here I asked an employee at the concert venue.
02:57How long had they been preparing for this grand event?
03:00And she told me that the structure has been bigger for at least two weeks.
03:02And in recent days the house even closed to focus on preparing for this auction.
03:08which involves a lot of celebrities, a lot of money, right?
03:10I published an article this week about the 17 items and experiences,
03:16Because it has a scepter made by someone who works with jewelry, right?
03:21A luxury jersey in homage to Pelé, but he also has a Barcelona jersey.
03:24The MSN trio, right? Soares and Messi and Neymar signing a jersey.
03:28I think perhaps the most talked-about and viral item was the weekend trip.
03:35at the mansion in Mangaratiba with Neymar present,
03:39using the go-kart track as well, and finally, the private area of the mansion,
03:44Finally, some experiences also with João Fonseca, the tennis player,
03:47Ronaldo Fenômeno, a lot of things about the auction itself, right?
03:52which involves athletes and other celebrities who have attracted a lot of attention,
03:56So I arrived here somewhat early,
03:59We saw a lot of people involved, both from sports and outside of it.
04:02from music, from entertainment, and so we were positioned in a certain place, right,
04:06Like a mixed zone, you know, something more like a stadium.
04:08when the player leaves the Vexar towards the bus,
04:11We were on a red carpet, you know, something quite different.
04:13So we, for example, from the press, were able to talk to Ana Castela,
04:17She's a singer who's making her second appearance at the auction.
04:22From a sporting perspective, as a reporter covering Santos,
04:24Neymar's father spoke extensively about the controversies surrounding his son's name.
04:30He was asked if it was really a retirement from the national team, right?
04:32Because at the end of the World Cup, Neymar says, "For me, that's enough."
04:35And he says, no, but in four years you know what you'll be doing with your lives.
04:40So Neymar's father, always with that slightly sarcastic manner,
04:43but also very authentic when talking to us,
04:46And Neymar himself, you know, when the family arrived,
04:49As far as I could see, Neymar's father's wife was there.
04:52I didn't see Nadine, did I? Neymar's mother is also the president of the institute.
04:56But Rafaela, the sister, who wasn't with Gabigol,
04:59because he is also part of the Santos squad and traveled to Pará,
05:02But when Bruna arrived, you know, with Mavi and Mel, her daughters,
05:05So, attention, really, she's a star, I don't know if celebrity is the right word,
05:13But there's a lot of harassment; everyone wants to see, everyone wants to talk, everyone wants to know.
05:17And they were the last ones, right, who walked on that carpet.
05:20Then the celebrities, and finally Miss Universe, who else?
05:23the country singer Gabi Martins,
05:25There was Neymar's Sosa, who passed by with Pokémon cards,
05:28This week Neymar posted on his Instagram Stories that he was playing Pokémon cards.
05:32So, it's a different environment that combines sport, entertainment,
05:37and that we managed to get a few words out of them,
05:40All the details are on our social media and our YouTube channel.
05:42And of course, also on our Lance website,
05:45The fact is that tomorrow Santos has an extremely important match with Neymar in attendance.
05:49It remains to be seen whether he will act as the holder or as the bank.
05:51to try and qualify for the Copa do Brasil,
05:54In a week that includes Father's Day, which was also a topic here,
05:57Neymar's father was asked what it's like to be one of the main fathers, so to speak, in the country.
06:02He really thinks so, he has this kind of blasé way about him,
06:06But he paid attention here so that we could make our hard work here worthwhile.
06:11to hold a microphone in a small space,
06:13People with heightened emotions, it's difficult.
06:16There are too many people wanting the same things at the same time.
06:20But in the end everything worked out and it was very rewarding.
06:23Now everyone's enjoying the auction, right? At the moment I'm recording this video,
06:26which is even broadcast on TV, on YouTube, on the Institute's channel,
06:30But I'll leave it at that, and you can share more details about these behind-the-scenes events later.
06:35And of course, I reiterate my invitation for you to visit our Lance website.
