Neymar, 33, was out of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad list for the Brazilian team, released early last week, due to a physical problem.
At least that’s what made it clear, quite clearly in his Portuguese still incipient, the renowned coach who will command Brazil at the 2026 World Cup.
It was released days before the announcement of the list that Neymar had an edema in the thigh. It was enough for Ancelotti, who stressed the importance of having all 100% physically athletes, not including it.
Santos shirt 10, after serving a suspension of a match, returned to the field on Sunday (31), against Fluminense, 0-0 in Vila Belmiro.
He played all the time, showing himself well physically, and came out with this after game, when he commented was not called to the selection: “It was a nuisance in [músculo] Adductor, it was nothing much, so much that I played today. I was out of technical option. It has nothing to do with physical condition. “
One speech does not match the other, so much so that Ancelotti emphasized that technically it is not necessary to evaluate Neymar. I agree. For me, Neymar, technically, remains the best that Brazil has. There is no talent up to him.
What needs to be analyzed is another aspect, the behavioral. Neymar has created disgust in many people for a number of factors on the field or outside of it, including individualism, lack of maturity, egocentrism, unjustified irritation, superb.
This emanates, however, from sports media and part of public opinion. I have no doubt that if a popular survey is done, asking if Neymar should continue in the Brazilian team, most will answer “Yes”.
Returning to Neymar’s comment, in the first interview where he participated in the preparation for the games against Chile (this Thursday, the 4th) and Bolivia (next Tuesday, the 9th), Ancelotti will possibly have to respond to Captain Santos’s speech.
I am curious to know if the always complacent carleto will show indifference or replicate in some way, after all, the speeches do not beat. He said one thing, Neymar said another.
In this scenario, if you are one of those who no longer support Neymar, who consider that he is harmful to the national team, who should no longer appear among the summoned and that it will be much better for Brazil to go to the World Cup without him, start to cheer for Lucas Paquetá, 28.
Innocated to complaints to participate in handling results in England, the West Ham midfielder is back in national writer and should be the cast to form the midfield along with Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães.
It will have the mission, which could belong to Neymar, to approach the attackers – I apply that, without Vinicius Junior (suspended), Anchelotti will scale Raphinha, João Pedro (or Richarlison) and Martinelli (or Stephen or Luiz Henrique) – and create frequent chances of goal.
Cannhoto, owner of good ball control, with good game vision, long -distance kick and marking capacity, Paqueta theoretically has more than enough conditions to gain the sympathy and confidence of Carleto and to snap the title again.
The former Flamenguista, who bears the island in which he was born in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, was starting at the 2022 World Cup at Qatar.
He assisted Neymar to make Brazil’s goal against Croatia in the quarterfinals, and then left the field, replaced by Fred, one of the villains of the elimination.
Paquetá slicing, there is a chance, even small, that the team’s configuration has a new face compared to previous worlds.
Otherwise, there is no conflict between the biggest scorer in the history of the national team and the Italian coach, Neymar will soon be back to the Canarinho team. Like him or not.
