Lucas Moura, the player of Tottenham, has caused a great controversy in social networks after announcing his political point of view.
As it is a World Cup year, there will be a change in the presidency in Brazil next month, and the Spurs player has already chosen his candidate, which has caused a big uproar on social media.
As in 2018, Lucas Moura positioned himself in favor of conservative-religious Jair Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party.
The current president is running against Socialist Lula da Silva and is supported by Lucas Moura, who has again declared that he will vote for the current president.
“I am conservative, right-wing, defend Christian principles, the family… I don’t see an ideal candidate, but Bolsonaro is the closest to what I believe,” said Lucas Moura, who plans to run in São Paulo in 2023.
In social networks, fans of the player are divided, given his political statement.
Some are in favor, others against.
They claim that as a supporter of Bolsonaro, he will not be called to defend the colors of the Brazilian national team.
Lucas Moura has a contract at Tottenham until this season.
With no rumors of a contract extension, he could find it in Brazil, with São Paulo showing the most interest.
