Brasil espera ansioso el veredicto sobre la participación de Neymar en el Mundial Brasil vive un momento de gran expectativa mientras espera la decisión del seleccionador nacional, Carlo Ancelotti, sobre si el futbolista Neymar será convocado para el Mundial de fútbol. La incertidumbre ha generado un debate intenso en el país, donde la afición y los medios analizan las posibles razones que podrían llevar al técnico a incluir o descartar al jugador. La decisión será revelada el lunes en un evento en el Museu da Amanha, en Río de Janeiro, donde Ancelotti anunciará los 26 jugadores elegidos entre 55 preseleccionados. Neymar, quien lleva dos años y medio sin jugar con la selección brasileña, ha insistido en su deseo de participar en el torneo. Tras una derrota de su equipo, el Santos, frente al Coritiba (3-0), el jugador expresó su deseo de estar en la Copa del Mundo: “Mi sueño es estar en la Copa del mundo. Trabajé para eso. Si no estoy entre los convocados, estaré animando a Brasil”, afirmó mientras se vestía con una camiseta de la selección. Sin embargo, su rendimiento en el club ha sido cuestionado, ya que ha acumulado cuatro lesiones y solo ha jugado un puñado de partidos seguidos en la Liga brasileña durante la temporada 2026. El entrenador Ancelotti ha destacado que la elección dependerá de lo que Neymar demuestre en el campo, aunque ha aclarado que la decisión no es sencilla. “Debo sopesar cuidadosamente los pros y los contras”, dijo en una entrevista reciente, pero añadió que desde hace un año evalúa a todos los jugadores, no solo a Neymar. A pesar de su desempeño en el club, algunos analistas y periodistas brasileños cuestionan su condición física y forma actual.#carlo_ancelotti #neymar #romario #museu_da_amanha #zico
Romário Questions Carlo Ancelotti Over Neymar's Absence: 'Talent Mustn't Be Wasted' Former Brazilian football legend Romário has publicly criticized coach Carlo Ancelotti for excluding Neymar from Brazil’s upcoming friendly matches, arguing that the national team must prioritize the inclusion of the star forward. Romário emphasized that talent should not be overlooked, especially as Brazil prepares for the FIFA World Cup, where he believes Neymar’s presence is crucial. The Brazilian icon stated that the national team is meant for the best and most talented players, and with only a month of preparation left for the tournament, there is ample time for Neymar to recover and integrate with the squad. Romário’s comments come amid growing speculation about Neymar’s role in the World Cup squad. While Ancelotti cited the forward’s fitness as the primary reason for his omission from the friendlies, the decision has drawn criticism from fans and fellow players. Raphinha, a teammate at FC Barcelona, expressed hope that Neymar would be part of Brazil’s World Cup campaign, indirectly adding pressure on Ancelotti to justify his selection. Romário, however, took a more direct approach, asserting that even if Neymar is not at peak form, his inclusion is preferable to calling up less talented players. The former striker also highlighted Neymar’s unique status as a transcendent figure in football, someone whose presence commands respect and admiration. Romário argued that the current Brazilian squad lacks a player with such an extraordinary impact, a role he believes only Neymar and a few others have ever fulfilled. He stressed that the national team’s success depends on harnessing the talents of its most iconic stars, and leaving Neymar out risks wasting his potential.#carlo_ancelotti #neymar #brazil #fifa_world_cup #romario
Brazil is divided over Neymar; Romario takes a dig at Ancelotti without naming him: “That gentleman had better watch out…” Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for his first World Cup as a manager, tasked with leading Brazil—a team historically among the favorites to win. His recent squad selection has sparked debate in the country, particularly due to the exclusion of Neymar. Legendary Brazilian striker Romario has publicly criticized the decision, issuing a warning to Ancelotti. Romario, reflecting on the omission, stated, “Neymar not being called up? That gentleman had better watch out… the national team is for the best players. The Seleção is where the best and most talented players belong, and no manager should do without a player of Neymar’s calibre. He’d better watch out… it’s better to have a star like Neymar, even if he’s not 100%, than to call up just any other player. A star must play, always.” He added, “I still hope to see Neymar prove on the pitch, in the Brazilian league, that he deserves a place in the final squad so that we can bring home our sixth World Cup title.” The former Barcelona player expressed frustration over his exclusion but vowed not to give up, insisting he would work to convince Ancelotti to reconsider. However, his conduct off the pitch has drawn criticism. Recently, after being left out of a Santos match, Neymar spent hours gambling, raising questions about his professionalism. The provisional squad selections, announced to test the team ahead of friendlies against France and Croatia, are subject to changes. Ancelotti will finalize the official squad list three months before the tournament, facing a critical decision: whether to include Neymar or not. The controversy highlights the high stakes of Brazil’s World Cup preparations and the pressure on its manager to balance talent and team dynamics.#carlo_ancelotti #neymar #santos #brazil #romario
