“I have loved football since I was little. I played it every day. I did not come home from school; I just stayed at the school to play football. Then I came home to play chess. It turned out that I was better at chess, so I continued to do that”, said Magnus Carlsen, Five-time World Chess Champion. 

Pep and Magnus analyzed specific goals and moves, emphasizing the importance of patience, strategy, and adapting to the opponent's actions. Guardiola highlights the significance of controlling the middle in both football and chess, while Carlsen draws similarities between attacking on one side and creating advantages. They also discuss the role of instinct and unpredictability in achieving success.

The conversation delves into the mental aspects of high-pressure situations, emphasizing the need for calmness and adaptability. Both share insights from their respective fields, showcasing the strategic thinking and mastery required in football and chess. “I think the way you have to take defenders away with the attack depends on the movement of the opponent. You must pay attention to what the opponent does in every single movement and react to that. Magnus has two hours to make the next movement. We have a second to react or take a decision”, explained Pep.

The conversation concludes with reflections on extended matches, with Carlsen recalling a 7.5-hour chess game and Guardiola expressing admiration for such dedication and focus.

Neymar Jr. has personally selected the special group that includes family, friends, coaches, current and ex-teammates, and Brazil legends all of whom will receive the boot number that corresponds to the goals they have scored for their national team. Neymar Jr. and PUMA will also give away one pair of the boots in a special competition @pumafootball.

Achieving the record fulfils a lifelong dream for Neymar Jr. It is tough to be a star, even tougher when you start so young. Neymar Jr. came from Santos, a land of expectations, home to some of the most talented players in the history of football. A country of 200 million have watched him grow up, find his voice, and reach his potential.

People will always make comparisons, but Neymar Jr. has never wanted that. His hero Pelé inspired him to become a football player and he himself wants to do the same for the next generation of Brazilian players. History doesn’t repeat itself. Every player carves their own legacy. We must celebrate the heroes that came before us and inspire the heroes yet to be crowned.
 

“Breaking the record is a dream come true. Pelé is my hero and has been an inspiration to me and many young children growing up in Brazil. I would not be where I am today if it was not for the support of my family and the many who have helped me along my journey“, said Neymar Jr. “After reaching 78 goals I wanted to do something special and show my appreciation for them. Together with PUMA we have created 78 pairs of FUTURE football boots that will be gifted to the 78 people who have influenced me on and off the pitch. To those people I want to give my gratitude and a part of this record that they have helped me achieve.”

Each pair of NJR78 FUTURE football boots will be presented in special cases with a white protective outer sleeve with high gloss gold foiled graphics. The piece of art features special white cotton archive gloves to preserve the limited-edition items. Each pair comes with a signed Neymar Jr. certificate of authenticity and will not be for sale.

As a step toward a better future, the FUTURE INJR football boot is made with at least 20% recycled materials. 

The Neymar Jr. Instituto Collection features items designed by children from the Instituto Neymar Jr. that includes Neymar Jr. training tops, pants, training jerseys, shorts, hoodies, cotton tees, backpacks, baseball caps, shin guards and footballs in kids and adult sizes.
