"He has six months to get into the final list, although he needs to prove his performance," said Carlo Ancelotti two weeks ago about Neymar's aspirations to be at the next World Cup. Now, in an interview with Esporte Record de TV Record, the Brazil coach has made it clear once again: talent alone is not enough. A forceful message... for all those who want to get on the final boat.
"He got injured and he has to be 100%. There are many very good players, I need to choose players who are 100%," he explained. "It's not just Neymar, it could be Vinicius. If Vinicius is 90%, I will call another player who is 100%, because it is a team with a very high level of competition, especially in attack. In attack, we have many very good players."
Vinícius Júnior cannot believe he scored a magical goal against Real Madrid's goalie
Neymar's case is different. The Brazilian star has not played for the Canarinha since his injury against Uruguay in October 2023, but he is still striving to be at the World Cup. Neymar has not been included in any of the squads that Carlo Ancelotti has named since he took over as coach last summer. A total of eight matches have been missed by the former Barcelona player.
"I think he has great talent. He was unlucky to get injured during the time we were together. He couldn't prepare himself to be in good physical shape because of the injuries. We are in November...", he explained in his latest interview. "Neymar is on the same level as the others, considering that Neymar has already shown extraordinary talent."
