The first time Neymar had dedicated a goal for you, the two of you hadn't even been dating yet.
You had met each other during the PSG vs Man City game for the UEFA Champions League.
You were a freshly hired reporter for Man City preparing to interview players for your first game.
You and your co-worker were busy setting up the equipment prior to the game starting when you noticed that one of the players from the opposing team had come out and was giving an interview.
You waited until he was done before shouting for him, beckoning him over.
You made eye contact as he came over.
You launched right into your well-rehearsed speech, "Hello, thank you so much for joining us today, can you please state your name?"
He gave you a weird look but spoke nonetheless, "Neymar?"
Oh shit. This was Neymar. You had heard about him once you started to become more involved in the football world, however, you hadn't done any research on him since he wasn't a Man City player.
"Alright. Thanks for that." You spoke.
"So Neymar how do you feel about tonight's game?"
Neymar smirked at you, "Aren't you a Man City reporter?"
You felt your face warm with the question, flustered you responded, "Yes. Why does that matter?"
Neymar shrugged, maintaining eye contact, "Just like to get to know my competition."
Now your cheeks were definitely turning red, but you were quick to refocus on the original question, "So about the game, how are you feeling?"
Neymar kept his gaze on you the whole time instead of looking at the camera.
He had a sort of unnerving stare as he grinned at you, looking like he knew something you didn't.
"Pretty good, think we'll destroy your little team, show them how it's done."
You let out a loud laugh, "Please, we both know that Man City has been doing very well this season, and PSG has been barely able to hold their position in the league."
Neymar's smile faded at your words as he began to argue back, "Actually our defensive line has been the best it's been in years, same with our attack. However, after the last game that Man City played it's clear that their best days are behind them."
You narrowed your eyes at him, clearly not pleased as he had just dissed your team, but you remained professional,
"I guess we'll see tonight. How are you feeling about your chances of winning the league?"
"Confident. I'll be even more so when we beat you."
You raised your eyebrows at his confidence. "Well, may the best team win."
He gave you a smile that was anything but nice before he nodded at your statement.
You decided to close out the interview, seeing as the game was beginning soon, "Ok well thank you for your time."
He nodded once again before you cut the cameras, about to make your way back over to your co-worker before he interrupted,
"What's your name?"
You turned to look back at him puzzled, "Y/n. Why?"
He looked back at you, his signature smirk back on his face, "I'll remember that."
