Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen shared a light-hearted anecdote about her recent experience with her team and soccer superstar Neymar. While Zheng was engaged in a fitness session with her coach, she noticed that her team was nowhere to be found. Upon inquiring about their whereabouts, she discovered that they were busy taking pictures with the famous soccer player.
Zheng took the situation in stride, laughing off the incident and expressing her admiration for Neymar. “He is an incredible soccer player,” she remarked, playfully noting that her team seemed more captivated by Neymar’s presence than focused on her fitness routine.
