Famous Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino, who recently also photographed Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk, landed the ultimate job to take Neymar and Bundchen's pictures as well, the Web site further reported.
Moda.terra.com.br reported that a team of 25 people was required for the photo op. In addition, two chests of clothes were flown from Sao Paulo to Spain for the shoot.
Meanwhile, Neymar has started training for the upcoming World Cup for the first time in Brazil, Daily Mail reported. He began training on May 28.
Bleacher Report's Hugo Chavez Barroso wrote that Neymar is the athlete that is "under most pressure" in Brazil. He said that there is no doubt that Neymar will be carrying the hopes of his fellow countrymen on the back of his jersey. All eyes will be on Neymar as the host nation Brazil begins their campaign against Croatia in the opening match on June 12. "Neymar is the only one host-country player who be under the most pressure, even if he doesn't want it. No matter if things go well or go wrong, the press is going to look for him, and the fans are either going to glorify or question him. Why? Because most of Brazil's hopes of winning the Hexacampeonato (sixth world championship) are on him."
Neymar has already attracted a lot of attention when he opted to play for Barcelona. However, during the 2013 Confederations Cup, Neymar led Brazil to win the trophy and even awarded the most valuable player.
Do you think Neymar could bring glory to Brazil in the 2014 World Cup?
