The Reinvention of Neymar: From 'Peter Pan' to Brazilian Leader

Brazil's training session started earlier than expected. The five-time world champions were against the clock as they prepared for their friendly match against Uruguay at the Emirates Stadium in London. With the sun going down around 4 p.m. on a dull November afternoon, they were worried about the absence of floodlights at Arsenal's training ground.

The coaching staff wanted to make the most of it and allowed reporters to watch only the first 15 minutes of the session.

Nothing much stood out on the pitch, but off it, the presence of Neymar's son, Davi Lucca, on the sidelines raised eyebrows.
