The 2026 World Cup is fast approaching. Brazil dreams of finding the world summit and gleaning a sixth crown in the exercise.
To achieve its ends, the Seleção will have to put the odds on its side. Carlo Ancelotti will have to find the solution and thus compose the best possible workforce to hope to win this title that flees the country since 2002.
To hope to do something big, the country wants to count on Neymar. Often affected by injuries, the Brazilian number 10 struggles to chain matches and regain its physical level. However, observers keep believing in him in the image of Ronaldinho.
« It's Ney, there is no going back. Soon he will be there. He must help us become world champions again ”said the 2005 Ballon d'Or at a press conference preceding the friendly match celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Mineirao stadium.
Before chaining his remarks on the national coach Carlo Ancelotti. “” Ancelotti has just arrived. I worked with him in Milan and I can say that he is a man of experience and success. I wish him good luck and I hope he will bring Brazil to the top. »»
Ancelotti wants Neymar to regain his physical condition
Neymar is impatiently waiting to return to the national team. The former Paris Saint-Germain player was not called by Ancelotti for this international truce. The Italian technician said that number 10 should first find a good physical condition.
« Neymar, we don't need to test it. Everyone knows him. Like the others, he must arrive in good physical condition to help the national team give the best of herself during the World Cup, “he said.
Before reacting to Neymar's words at a press conference a few days ago: ” Neymar's words? It's normal. I think it's the truth. It is a technical decision that is based on many things. On what the player does, on what he has already done, but also on the problem he had. When I talk about the physical criterion, this is a criterion that the whole commission finds very important. I have already said during another press conference that no one can discuss Neymar's technical level. What we assess every day, every game is physical condition. Not just his, but that of all the players who are here. The truth is that this selection is very competitive. We believe that the Brazilian selection has 70 players who can participate in the World Cup. »»
