Manager Carlo Ancelotti’s decision not to call up Neymar, who has been closely monitoring the Brazilian national team’s every move during this friendly, raises several questions. During this off-season, he spoke out about former team-mates such as Kylian Mbapp and Casemiro.
Neymar’s reaction
This is what Neymar showed on YouTube, where he shared a glimpse into his 48-hour routine as well as some insights into his personal life.
“I feel the same way you do. I suffer too, I feel pain, I get cranky, I wake up, I cry, I get sad, I’m happy, I’m normal. Why can’t I be normal?” he said, referring to the controversy surrounding his personal life.
Meanwhile, as Neymar watched last Thursday’s match between Brazil and France up close from a room in his luxurious mansion, the phrase “Mbapp doesn’t miss” appeared.
After Mbapp’s goal in that match, Neymar praised his former PSG teammate, saying: “He never makes a mistake in front of goal.” Immediately afterwards, he also praised his compatriot: “Casemiro…he plays very well!”
Finally, Neymar made a short comment about the Brazilian national team, saying, “This is how they have to fight. Brazil has to fight on the counterattack.” Regarding the possibility that he could be added to the squad if coach Ancelotti decides so, Neymar left a short comment.
