Mauricio, please tell us how this partnership with Neymar has begun,
and why you have chosen him after Pelé and Ronaldinho,
who have also become part of your comics.
It's a history of champions, Pelé, Ronaldo,
great soccer stars,
and then Neymar appeared,
and considering the context in which he is inserted,
especially his family structure,
behavior, charisma, achievements, great skills,
he became a natural candidate to figure in one of my comic books,
and that's what happened.
Thanks to a fast, positive and reasonable negotiation
we had with his father,
it was possible to readily sign the contract.
The production began an year ago,
and now we're finally releasing the comic book.
This is just the beginning,
we'll work on cartoons and a wide range of other things,
it'll be a long way to go along with Neymar.
The character is not Neymar, but him as a kid.
It's a great honor to me,
I've never thought such thing would ever happen,
that I'd eventually become part of a comic book,
I've been his fan since I was a kid,
I've always read Mauricio's comics,
and now I'm one of his characters,
it's a great honor.
