Neymar completa 90 minutos con Santos y Ancelotti habla sobre su futuro en el Mundial 2026 Neymar regresó a la acción completa en el partido de Santos contra Atlético Mineiro, que terminó con una victoria por 1-0 en el Brasileirao. El delantero brasileño, que había estado ausente en varios partidos debido a problemas físicos, mostró su recuperación al disputar los 90 minutos del encuentro. Esta participación fue celebrada por el seleccionador de Brasil, Carlo Ancelotti, quien destacó el esfuerzo del jugador para reafirmar su lugar en la selección para el Mundial 2026. En una entrevista con L'Équipe, Ancelotti valoró el progreso de Neymar y mencionó que la Confederación Brasileña de Fútbol (CBF) y él mismo están evaluando su preparación para el torneo. "Neymar ha hecho y sigue haciendo historia en el fútbol brasileño. Es un gran talento, y es natural que la gente crea que nos puede ayudar en el próximo Mundial", afirmó el entrenador. Ancelotti destacó que el jugador aún tiene dos meses para demostrar que está en condiciones de competir en el Mundial, aunque reconoció que su recuperación tras una lesión de rodilla ha sido positiva. "Lo dije varias veces y está muy claro: llamaré a los jugadores que estén listos físicamente. Después de su lesión de rodilla, Neymar hizo una buena recuperación. Está haciendo goles. Necesita seguir por este camino y mejorar su condición física. Va por buen camino", concluyó Ancelotti, quien no ha incluido a Neymar en ninguna de sus convocatorias desde que asumió el cargo en la selección brasileña un año atrás. El extremo, que lleva jugados solo 5 de los 11 partidos del Brasileirao, ha sido clave en los encuentros en los que ha participado. En esos partidos, Neymar ha marcado 3 goles y realizado 2 asistencias, lo que refleja su importancia para el equipo.#carlo_ancelotti #neymar #santos #brasileirao #confederacion_brasilea_de_ftbol

Neymar's World Cup Prospects: Santos' Strategy to Keep the Star in Top Form Neymar, the Brazilian football icon, faces a critical challenge as he prepares for the upcoming World Cup. At 34 years old and with a history of injuries, the Santos striker is engaged in a race against time to ensure he is fit and ready for the tournament. The Santos club has developed a detailed plan to help him reach peak physical condition, balancing his club commitments with the demands of international football. This strategy is crucial as the team approaches the deadline for final selection by coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Santos squad will play 14 matches before the projected May 18th deadline for Brazil's final squad announcement. However, Neymar is not expected to participate in all of them. The club's medical department aims for him to play in approximately half of these games, around 7 to 10 matches. This approach is designed to prevent overexertion and reduce the risk of injury, which could jeopardize his World Cup prospects. The plan involves limiting his appearances to a maximum of two games every three matches, while avoiding high-risk fixtures such as away games with long travel times or altitude-related challenges. A key example of this strategy is the upcoming Copa Sul-Americana match against Deportivo Cuenca in Ecuador. This game, which occurs after a series of matches and involves playing at high altitude, is considered unlikely for Neymar. The club's medical team is prioritizing matches at home, particularly those at Vila Belmiro, to minimize travel fatigue. The Santos team will face the Remo club in the Brasileirão on Thursday, a match where Neymar's participation is expected. However, even in home games, his presence is not guaranteed, especially during intense scheduling periods.#carlo_ancelotti #neymar #santos #brasileirao #copa_sul_americana

Memphis Depay and Gabriel Paulista to Miss Corinthians Trip to Chapecoense Corinthians has announced that Memphis Depay, Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Carrillo, and Kaio César will not be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Chapecoense in the Brasileirão. The decision to rest the players comes as the club prepares for the encounter, which is set to take place in the league competition. The absence of these key players is expected to impact the team’s strategy and lineup for the game. The news of Depay’s exclusion has sparked discussions among fans and analysts, as the Dutch forward has been a significant contributor to the team’s attacking efforts. Similarly, Gabriel Paulista, known for his playmaking abilities, will miss the match, leaving a gap in the midfield. Carrillo and Kaio César, who have also been integral to the team’s performances, will not be available for selection. The club’s coaching staff has opted for a cautious approach, prioritizing player fitness and tactical adjustments for the upcoming fixture. This move places Depay among a select group of Corinthians players who have scored against major rivals in the 21st century. His absence will be felt, particularly in matches against high-profile opponents. The club’s management has emphasized the importance of balancing short-term results with long-term development, ensuring that the squad remains competitive throughout the season. The match against Chapecoense is a crucial test for Corinthians, as the team aims to maintain its position in the league standings. The absence of key players may force the coaching staff to implement new tactics or rely on younger squad members. While the challenge is evident, the club remains focused on securing a positive outcome.#corinthians #chapecoense #memphis_depay #gabriel_paulista #brasileirao
