Neymar has his passionate groupies, the 'Neymarzetes'

[BRASïLIA] "First comes God, then family and then Neymar," says Rayellen Andrade, 17, wearing the yellow Brazil team jersey with her idol's name across the back.

She's among the tens of thousands of groupies known as "Neymarzetes", who worship the Brazil and Barcelona forward on both sides of the Atlantic as if he were a Justin Bieber in football cleats.

"Neymarmania" is sweeping across Brazil now. The face of Neymar, who changed haircuts and hair colour during the tournament before sporting a blond top, is everywhere: on advertising billboards, television commercials and in the hearts of his admirers.
