The former Barcelona, \u200b\u200bPSG and Al Hilal player took over the leadership of the team at the most important moments and his response on the pitch allowed Peixe to achieve his main sporting goal this year.<\/p>\n<p>But once survival is assured, the Brazilian striker&#8217;s focus will no longer be on the immediate future, but on a larger personal goal: to qualify for the 2026 World Cup with Brazil&#8217;s national team. The 33-year-old number 10 knows that he needs continuity, a competitive rhythm and a very tough environment to attract the attention of the national team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. scores his first goal of the season for Al Nasr U16<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Neymar won&#8217;t give up even if he&#8217;s not called up<\/h2>\n<p>So far, Neymar has not been called up by current Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti, and his absence has caused controversy among fans and local media. Nevertheless, the striker&#8217;s enthusiasm remains unchanged and he revealed this at an event in S\u00e3o Paulo with singer Chiaguinho, where he surprised with ambitious promises.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will do everything I can, even if it&#8217;s impossible, to bring this World Cup back to Brazil. If we reach the final, I promise you I&#8217;ll score. You can ask me to take that responsibility in July,&#8221; Neymar told the audience. He also left a direct message for the Italian manager: &#8220;Help me, Ancelotti!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Santos taking a step back in his career?<\/h2>\n<p>Although the individual level was high, Santos does not seem to be an ideal scenario for Neymar to prepare for the World Cup. The team&#8217;s lack of competitiveness and limited international demand could work against him as he seeks a return to Canarinha, opening the door to a possible change of club in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>In this connection, rumors began to circulate linking the Brazilian star with Flamengo, recent champions of the Copa Libertadores and Brasileir\u00e3o. Flamengo is a destination that will allow him to compete at the continent&#8217;s highest level and continue to attract international attention.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">When was Neymar&#8217;s last match with Brazil?<\/h2>\n<p>Neymar&#8217;s last appearance for the Brazilian national team was on October 17, 2023, in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in Montevideo. In that match, the striker suffered serious knee injuries, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, and was out for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Neymar has recovered and gained the strength to continue, he is dreaming again. His immediate future will be the key to finding out whether the &#8220;10&#8221; will be able to fulfill their promise and have one last great encounter with history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/world-cup\/2025\/12\/21\/69485867ca4741db368b45b7.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neymar ended the season with a great performance for Santos, becoming a star player in the final stages of the championship and helping them avoid relegation.
