Neymar landed at the training ground by private plane

Professional athletes have traditionally showcased their skills upon training arrival. Former Boston Celtics player Antoine Walker drove his Ferrari to an exercise as a sly flex, angering competition addict Michael Jordan.

The latter was apparently so unimpressed by Walker’s attempt to become alpha dog that he arrived in a different Ferrari each day for the following week’s training, wearing similar Jumpman sweatsuits. Only Neymar Jr.’s customized Mercedes-Benz helicopter can match Michael Jordan’s training arrival gesture in the present era.

Turn back the clock. The year was 2019. Unlike wildfire ash and COVID-19 particles, hope once prevailed. Before the Copa America competition, the Paris Saint-Germain player returned to international duty with Brazil after three months out with a metatarsal i𝚗jᴜry. Neymar came at the Granja Comary sports center in Teresopolis, Brazil, by Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 helicopter, not supercar or chauffeur.

The helicopter can reach 150 mph / 241 km per hour and is 13.64 metres long and 3.95 metres high. Mercedes made the VIP lounge’s unique furniture. It holds 11 people.”

Airbus H-145 twin-engine helicopters can fly 351 nautical miles / 404 statute miles / 650 km on a single fuel canister. The skybird’s midnight black paint job and emblem on the interior seating are reportedly allusions to Batman, Neymar’s favorite character. The Dark Knight and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man are tattooed on his back.

Neymar Jr. travels the world in his Embraer Legacy 450 and Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 helicopter, which cost him €13 mιllιon (AU$20.3 mιllιon). Are you a professional baseball player without a €12.2 mιllιon or $19.1 mιllιon private plane?
