Neymar denies information about preparation for the 2026 World Cup
Neymar used social media last Wednesday (10) to 2026 World Cup.
Journalist Bruno Andrade, from ESPN, detailed a special plan for Santos’ number 10, focusing on physical recovery, thinking about the next World Cup. According to Andrade, Neymar would have hired Dr. Eduardo Santos, nicknamed Dr. Milagre, and would also be distancing himself from some people to change his stance.
“Sources: from his head”, commented from the broadcaster on Instagram. The attacker also added laughing emojis next to the phrase.
In the video, Bruno Andrade details the player’s plan to be called up for the World Cup.
“This radical change in Neymar’s stance, this hiring of Eduardo Santos, has to do with this. Working even harder on the medical side, giving up many things. Neymar who back then had cruises, parties, etc., the idea is that until the World Cup, total focus on recovery, total focus on football, thinking about the World Cup”, explained the journalist.
This change of stance would be related to Ancelotti’s resistance to calling up the Santos striker.
“Because, for the first time in my career, someone said no to Neymar and, in this case, it was Antelotti. As it has been very difficult to convince Antelotti, he wants to change his stance and has changed his stance,” he said.
The change in attitude not only involves hiring a specialized doctor, but also the dismissal of some people.
“For example, Pedro Ivo discovered that, I’m going to use the word removal here, but it’s more or less that. Neymar put aside some people from his daily life who he thought were not beneficial for his performance, for his physical, clinical and also tactical and technical development. So, he closed a bit of a hard core in the last few weeks. Only his parents, his sister, his wife, the physiotherapist, the physical trainer, both private individuals and the cook. So, he closed himself off a lot to focus 100% first on Santos, on not relegation and now on the World Cup. The perspective that Neymar has given people is that he has changed”, added Andrade.
