– It is a technical decision that is based on many things. What the player is doing, what he has done. And also the problem he had. When I speak of the physical criterion, it is a criterion that the whole commission considers very important. No one can discuss Neymar at technical level. What we are looking at and evaluating is your physical condition, but not only of it, all the players who are here. Because the truth is that this selection has a lot of competition. Much. We believe we have 70 players who may be in the World Cup, ”said the coach.
