Neymar in pink. How other soccer players have experimented with their hair

With every successful kick, goal or decisive pass, the players are ready to shout: “Well, how do you like it?”. And this mannerism is often manifested not only on the field. Professional athletes are personalities, often prone to demonstrativeness and epathetic. Almost every famous player has a personal barber and stylist, and their haircuts are a great way to express themselves.

A few days ago, Brazilian striker Neymar took to the field with a new hairstyle. This is not the first time the footballer has recolored his hair, but this time – in pink. With his bold decision he immediately attracted the attention of journalists, photographers and fans. And we, in turn, tell you about other no less bright and unusual hairstyles of soccer players.

Ronaldo’s ridiculous haircut at the World Cup-2002

Another Brazilian who was not afraid of change. At the 2002 World Cup, the striker amazed all the fans with a bright and, frankly, somewhat ridiculous haircut.

Ronaldo’s hairstyle immediately caused a lot of jokes in his direction, but the footballer silenced critics with his technical game. He became the top scorer of the tournament, and the Brazilian national team lifted the coveted trophy over their heads for the fifth time.

The bright style of Paul Pogba

French footballer Paul Pogba has always been famous for his ability to pick up bright images. He changes hairstyles even more often than he creates goal moments on the soccer field. It is this style and charisma allow the Frenchman to remain popular and win the attention of fans.

Pogba not only dyes his hair in all sorts of colors, but often shaves patterns on his temples. Several times the footballer depicted there his own initials, apparently, to always be in the center of attention.

Mass action of the Romanian national team in 1998

At the group stage of the 1998 World Cup, the Romanian national team demonstrated what teamwork is all about. The players decided to dye their hair white to prolong their success and not to scare away fortune. However, the mass action was not successful. The Romanian national team played the last match of the group against Tunisia, barely getting a draw, and in the first round of the playoffs fell out, losing to Croatia.

Ivan Perisic’s patriotism

One of the leaders of the Croatian national team Ivan Perisic in 2016 made a peculiar hairstyle before the match 1/8 finals of the European Championship against Portugal. The Bayern player dyed his hair in the famous Croatian red and white “checkers”. Perhaps it was one way to eclipse the greatness of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Punk rock by Fredrik Jungberg

Swedish soccer player Fredrik Jungberg, who not so long ago served as head coach of Arsenal London, was not known for his spectacular play on the field. However, his pink and purple hairstyle in the style of punk musicians is certainly remembered by many.
