IShowSpeed, the popular gamer and YouTube streamer was present at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan, for the preseason friendly match between Ligue 1 team PSG and Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. He interacted with American media personality Kim Kardashian in the stands and also went on to meet Brazilian winger Neymar Jr. after the game.
Before actually meeting Neymar, the YouTuber waved at him, as he was walking towards the pitch from the dressing room. The footballer also reciprocated the gesture and pointed towards Speed. This got him excited and he started screaming frantically after the gesture.
After the game, which ended in a goalless draw, the Brazilian stumbled into Speed. Speed was visibly excited after seeing him and said, "Siuu my boy, let’s go" in his typical manner. He also said, "I came here to see you bro," to which the footballer astutely replied, "You came here for Ronaldo." Speed did not disagree, and went on to show off his No.7 Ronaldo jersey, which was underneath the yellow Brazil jersey and the duo shook hands.

Talking about Neymar, the winger is still recovering from an ankle injury he picked up in February, earlier this year in a Ligue 1 match. There is a greater chance of more playing time in the side's other friendly matches against Cerezo Osaka and Inter Milan.
Neymar was having a terrific season for PSG when he suffered his most recent injury, which was particularly unlucky. He had scored 13 goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1 at the time of his injury at the end of February, helping PSG go to the top of the standings. He also had two goals and three assists during the Champions League group stages.
In barely 50 minutes of play in the game he sustained his injury, a 4-3 victory against Lille, he had already scored and assisted on a goal.
