Ancelotti warning in Neymar
Ancelotti has now warned Neymar that he could be dismissed from the final selection of the Seleçao for the World Cup and that his selection would depend entirely on his physical condition. The Italian coach also revealed the positions he would held with the former star of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
What does Ancelotti say about Neymar's selection? Addressing ESPN, the Italian coach said: “We are obviously not going to observe Neymar's game. Everyone knows their talent. In modern football, to fully exploit his talent, a player must be in good physical condition. If he is at the best of his form, he will have no problem integrating the national team. Everyone wants Neymar to be in good physical condition. I spoke to him and said to him, “You have time to prepare yourself as best as possible and help the team give the best of itself during the World Cup. »» »
He added: “I told him. He came to the hotel before the match against Paraguay (in June) and we discussed it. (I would choose) as an attacking midfielder or attacker. He must play axial, he cannot play outside, because modern football needs attackers with physical qualities, this is very important. He can play offensive midfielder without problem. »» The superstar will be back in training with Santos this Sunday, while the club will face Atlético Mineiro in Serie A Brazilienne. He hopes to stay in shape in the coming months and proven himself with his international coach.
