Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil star Neymar have told his national teammate, Antony to continue showboating during games, describing it as an act of boldness and joy..

The Brazil international has been widely condemned especially by Manchester United’s former stars for showboating even when they were looking for goals against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday.

Antony performed his trademark 360-degree drag-back spin move – twice – while the scores were still tied at 0-0.

Now Neymar has backed his Brazilian team-mate encouraging him to keep playing his football just the way he loves it.

Sharing a clip of his compatriot doing his spin move, Neymar tagged Antony on Instagram and wrote: “Keep it up, don’t change anything! Go for it boy! Boldness and joy.”

Earlier, Antony had made it clear he was not changing anything, saying: “We are known for our art and I will not stop doing what has brought me to where I am!”
