1.5 years ago, the duo Neymar and Mbappe had attracted attention when Paris Saint-Germain prepared to face Lille OSC on Saturday (3/11/2018).
Not only because they both scored and helped each other to win PSG 2-1 in the match, but because of his behavior wearing strange costumes when entering the dressing room before the match.
By wearing a red overalls costume and wearing a strange mask. Both of them casually entered the dressing room. What costumes were actually worn at the time?
The costume is an iconic uniform from the Spanish television series, La Casa De Papel, or ‘Money Heist’ in the English title. Both players became one of the loyal fans of the action teledrama, which is referred to as the most popular in the English language series at the moment.
Synopsis of Money Heist
Money Heist, which aired for the first time in 2017, told of the ‘mastermind’ action called ‘The Professor’ (Alvaro Morte) in carrying out the biggest robbery in Spanish history.
In its first two seasons, the series tells the story of the professor who recruited eight people disguised by the names of cities in the world, namely Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Nairobi, Rio, Denver, Helsinki, and Oslo.
After planning for five months, the eight men entered and ransacked the “Royal Mint of Spain” building in Madrid, which was a printing house for state money. The costume worn by the eighth in robbing was the same as Neymar and Mbappe’s. A red ‘jumpsuit’ with a mask that resembles the Spanish Surrealist painter Salvador Dali, who is famous not only for his paintings but for his thin mustache.
In the first two seasons, the eighth, with the help of the Professor who controlled from a ‘safe house’, printed Euros worth 2.4 Trillion within a few weeks. Of course, with a lot of drama happening inside and outside the building, they managed to bring money and scatter to several places in the world.
Chaos occurs in the third season when Rio (Miguel Herran) is caught by Interpol, which makes the professor must save his men. Of course, a unique way to do that is by robbing again. This time it was the Bank of Spain building where in addition to trying to negotiate with the release of Rio, they also melted the gold bars in the bank vault to be robbed.
Professor, with the addition of several members such as Lisbon, Bogota, Palermo, and Marseille had to deal with law enforcement officers this time led by Alicia Serra (Najwa Nimri) Police Inspector who was getting pregnant and had a lot of sense to lure the herd out of his plan.
Starting from the third season, which was released in July 2019, drama and suspense continue until the fourth season, which will be released on Netflix Friday (3/4) and then as many as eight episodes lasting 42-65 minutes.
The Appearance of Neymar
The Brazilian footballer had appeared as Cameo in the third season last. This scene is a ‘flashback’ when Berlin (Pedro Alonso) invites the Professor to visit his residence in a monastery.
Joao appeared in the sixth and eighth episodes. In one of those scenes, Berlin asked about Joao’s origin, who immediately called Brazil. Berlin alluded to the country, which is famous for its parties and football. Then Joao answered, “I don’t like football or parties,” a statement contradicting a Neymar.
Cameo Neymar himself was delayed due to allegations of rape, which made the scene removed during the premiere. But when the allegations were not proven, and the case was finished, Netflix was reported by Elpais, again adding the Neymar cameo scene.
