“If you said you have, and there are three injured players that you count on: Bruno Guimarães, Éder Militão and Estêvão, then there are 21. If Neymar convinces you, there are 22. There are only four places left”, Galvão provoked.
In his response, the Italian did not directly mention Neymar or detail what the number 10 would need to do to be called up. Even so, he indicated where the uncertainties are and highlighted the .
“Yes, there are four vacancies. In this sense, we have a lot of doubts. That’s why, in this call-up, I called that I still don’t know very well. The doubts are in one name for the defense, two for the midfield and two for the attack. The competition is very great. The luck of the Seleção is to have athletes of great quality and talent”, said Ancelotti.
