Ex-GF Bruna Biancardi Gambling On Brazil Proves Costly As Neymar’s Emotions Run High Online After Costa Rica Draw

Neymar‘s absence was deeply felt in the Brazil squad, as Costa Rica humbled the all-time favorites to a goalless draw in the 2024 Copa America opener. Shortly after the game, the Al Hilal star came up with an emotional note, showing strong support to his Brazil teammates. Elsewhere, Neymar’s ex-girlfriend Bruna Biancardi took a blow in online gambling, as her bet on Brazil went awry after the draw.

Bruna Biancardi endorses the Brazilian gambling platform Blaze and habitually bets money on favorite teams during crucial games. The Brazil-Costa Rica tie was no outlier, as Bruna put 7,000 Brazilian Reals on the team in yellow. Had the Canarinha won, Neymar’s ex-partner could have bagged 7,980 Reals in return, as per her Instagram story.

But with Brazil settling for a draw, Bruna saw her four-figure sum go to waste on the online gambling platform. This loss comes a few days after the Brazilian model made a five-figure return by betting on Portugal in the Euro game against Turkiye.

Brazil now awaits tougher clashes against Paraguay and the heavyweight Columbia at the Copa. If the five-time world champions regain the momentum, Bruna Biancardi can snap her streak on the gambling platform. While Brazil’s misfire against Costa Rica casts shadows on the team’s potential, Neymar trusts his side will rise like a phoenix. Here is how the injured Al Hilal superstar tried to lift the yellow team’s spirits off the field.

Neymar’s emotional message to his Brazil teammates

Neymar took to Instagram, with his picture from the stands, and captioned his post with a supportive message for fellow Brazilians. As Neymar puts it, things can go wrong in soccer, despite every player wanting to give their best. Besides, he added that every Brazilian dreams of wearing the nation’s crest once and has tried for the same. Therefore, it is not surprising to see fellow Brazilians grow anguished at Dorival Junior’s side for a lackluster opener. Thereafter, the 32-year-old urged his compatriots to improve in the coming games.

“The game is over. We move on, let’s train and improve for the next game. I trust this group a lot and I know they will do their best for themselves, their family, and all the Brazilian fans,” said Neymar. Brazil cannot afford anything less than a win when they face Paraguay on June 28th. With a win in hand, Colombia has already topped the group that houses Brazil.

Therefore, a commanding win against Paraguay is the minimum asking price for the Canarinha to thrive and qualify for the knockouts in this Copa. Do you think Brazil will bounce back, like Neymar said? Tell us in the comments.
