Brazil star Neymar has opened up on the struggles of his upbringing and revealed how a lack of cookies gave him motivation to become a rich and successful footballer.
The world record signing, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for £198million (N91billion), was once in an environment where every penny counted and food was in scarce supply.
And in an open and honest interview with YouTube channel O Primo Rico, the PSG forward recounts one particular story about being owed cookies from his mother and how that fuelled a fire inside him to become a rich and successful player.
He said:
Neymar quickly honed his skills and began to attract lots of attention as a teenager in his home country, Brazil.
It didn't take long before European scouts took an interest.
The PSG player added:
Life has transformed these days for the 26-year-old as he lives a lavish lifestyle and mixes with the rich and famous on a regular basis.

He said:
There's a story with my mum and I think most people know it. I really wanted to eat cookies but we didn't have any, so my mum said: "Son we don't have more money, there's no way. I'll owe you this week, maybe next week when dad gets his payment, we can buy it."
"At the same time I told her, "mum it's OK. One day I will be very rich. I'll buy a cookie factory so I can eat whenever I want." My mum cries when she tells that story because it was really touching for her.
