⚽ Brasileirão 2026 - Brazilian Championship Serie A

[Slow death]

The Brazilian team has changed since the last world cup because Carlo Ancelotti is the manager. It is a dream to play for your country in the world cup and Neymar is dreaming. The danger Neymar can feel he could miss out on the final cut for the 26 man world cup squad. Is Ancelotti interested about Neymar scoring for Santos?

I don't know if I misread something somewhere, but I remember reading somewhere that there was a Santos game that Carlo Ancelotti attended, but Neymar didn't play because he was injured or tired. I don't remember the exact reason, but I remember reading that news. I could be wrong. Anyway, the guy is skillful, even if he were on the field to motivate his teammates, he would undoubtedly be a great help. Now, not playing him isn't like the Brazilian team wouldn't win games, but honestly, I have some doubts about this Brazilian national team squad.

Honestly, until a few years ago I did not believe that Neymar was a "great contribution" to the national team in terms of technique or skill... I even understood that his role in the brazilian national football team was more important to give "moral" and psychological support to other players. Because every national team needs an idol to inspire and I think that about four years ago, Neymar was the closest we had to that.

But nowadays, I think that is no longer valid... I think that idea of ​​an idol is no longer more important than a group of good players with distinct skills.
And even so, if we were to choose a player to inspire the team, I think that Vinícius Júnior (Vini) is much more closer to assuming that role.

I do not miss Neymar, I think he is much more about marketing than technique, as far as I am concerned he can continue playing for Santos.

But you can not deny that Neymar has skills that no other brazilian player has. No other player can create plays like he does and can just put the ball at the right place in moments where it is much needed.

See for example Vinicius Junior, he can not do anything in the national team, and he just plays like any other player without any magic. Compare to Neymar or players like Ronaldinho that play bonito and we can see it's a different level

If Neymar did not party too much and did not get hurt all the time we would not be questioning his place

So, I recognize that Neymar was an elite player, different from many others, excellent at short dribbles, very creative, with good vision for passing and has ability to decide plays in short spaces of time.... but honestly: that time has passed, today he may still be an above-average player, but he no longer delivers the same physical consistency and competitiveness that justifies him in the Brazilian national team.

Ancelotti has had problems with several absences due to injuries recently, so maybe there is a spot for Neymar, but only for that reason do I believe he would be called up.... to fill a gap.

See for yourself and tell me...

Do you think that is enough for a national team player?

I think Neymar might still have a spot on the national team, maybe as a sub, but I believe his time as a starter is over. Even though he’s a clutch player, I don't think he can compete at a high level anymore. He’s 34 now, it’s a clear decline... from here on out, it’s the end of his career and just trying to farm more money from the clubs.

I think he still is an elite player, but he is rusty because of the age and not playing in good teams for a long time, and also so many injuries.

It's like a very good runner that gets to the age where he can not run for a long time without getting tired

But I would enjoy seeing Neymar in the bench or playing to give the energy to the brazilian fans

Something that could be done:
Have Neymar play as a striker, right up front, without having to drop back or create so many plays
Both at Santos and on the Brazilian national team

That way, he wouldn’t have to run as much, would have enough energy to play the entire game, and could focus on the basics: receiving the ball, dribbling, and shooting on goal
He wouldn’t draw as many fouls since he’d be playing so far forward

Carlo Ancelotti could have gone to see Santos or players on the other side. He will watch tons of games because he is Brazilian head coach. Carlo is Brazil head coach he will make the decision about Neymar. Casemiro said he wanted Ancelotti to pick Neymar. Brazil play classy football without Neymar in the team. He should be included in the world cup team if he deserves his spot.

Don't you think that nowadays his advantage lies in the spaces he manages to find and put his teammates in front of the goal, besides drawing a lot of attention from the opposing team because many players still fear what he can do and don't see him as a normal player?

I say this because, from what I've seen of Santos' games, he no longer has that ease of placing the ball wherever he wants when he shoots at goal, but he certainly still poses a threat to the goalkeeper.

[Slow death]

And even so, if we were to choose a player to inspire the team, I think that Vinícius Júnior (Vini) is much more closer to assuming that role.

Vinicius Jr. and more marketing hype created among Real Madrid fans and management. Look, now they even despise Mbappé, who is an excellent player who manages to perform well for Real Madrid and the French national team. This was clear when France played against Brazil; Vinicius Jr. didn't even seem to be on the field, and Mbappé scored a goal in the game between France and Brazil. Neymar is the type of player like Mbappé; he may be lazy now because he's been out of action for a long time, but he would be a help to the team. I don't see how Vinicius Jr. would be an inspiration for the Brazilian national team, since when he plays for the Brazilian national team he becomes ineffective.

Vinicius Jr now broke up with his girlfriend, a big social media influencer from Brazil. I hope this is a wake up call for him to focus on football and take some of the magic he shows on Real Madrid to the national team.

For all he has done in the last years I would not like to see him playing in the world cup. It does not matter if you win for real madrid with beautiful goals if when the big match for the best competition in the world happens and he can not do a single good play

Even Richarlison was playing better the last world cup than him, and we can see how bad he is through the seasons in Tottenham

Vinicius is a Real Madrid player who must play his best for the them. The demand level at Real is high. Pro players every league dream about playing for Real since they were kids. A select few pros ever make the grade to play for Real. Vinicius should improve his image because it is an honour to play for Real. He should focus on football if he broke up with his girlfriend.

Regarding the issue of Vinicius Jr. separating from Virginia, in my opinion, it was something I foresaw would happen sooner or later. This is because when I read the news that Virginia had painted her plane but kept the drawing that shows her with her ex-husband and children, and that shortly after, Vinicius Jr. made a post with a phrase showing discontent, it was clear that he didn't like it. Even though Virginia went to the Real Madrid game wearing a shirt with Vinicius Jr.'s picture, he still wasn't happy and invited three women, which was the reason for the separation. From what I understand,

this type of relationship, with a woman who already has three children, doesn't work in this situation. The guy lives in Spain, she lives in Brazil, they don't have a serious relationship. So he shouldn't expect much, and now he's going to use this as a reason not to play well for the national team, because he always has some argument to play the victim.

And he is a famous football player for a big team in Madrid. We all know there was a big change he will want to live a life full of luxury with models, following the live of Neymar.

For Virginia to accept this it would be very hard since she wants the image of being a strong independent woman. Everyone thought she wanted to be the number one lady in the World Cup by dating one of the biggest players of one of the biggest national teams but now it this would be for nothing.

I just hope Vini starts playing better in the national league because us brazilians are starving from good football. In the last years the national team was a joke and many people are giving up the magical feeling of the football and the world cup because of this

[SensitiveEyes]

The world cup is a serious competition. Brazil players earn their place. Carlo should take Neymar to the world cup if he the right to play for the Brazil team. Carlo should only think about Neymar if his inclusion does not delete the right of a player who deserves to play in the world cup. Neymar should not be allowed on the Brazil team world cup sheet without earning his shirt.

Santos 0 - 3 Coritiba

It was a very humiliating defeat that Santos suffered; they conceded 3 goals and couldn't score any. To make matters worse, they had two very regrettable situations. The first was the red card that the Santos player received in the 72nd minute. This clearly made it difficult for Santos to reverse the result; I dare say it made it impossible for Santos to reverse the bad result. The second situation is related to the fact that they substituted Neymar by mistake. I honestly don't believe it was an accident; it seems to me that there are people acting in bad faith towards Neymar, they are sabotaging Neymar.

... substituted Neymar by mistake. I honestly don't believe it was an accident; it seems to me that there are people acting in bad faith towards Neymar, they are sabotaging Neymar.

Things that probably only happen here in Brazilian soccer 
I’ve never seen a mistake like that before
It makes you wonder if it was just a mistake or if someone took advantage of the situation
But it was really strange

The Santos team is really weak, really lost, even with Neymar
In my opinion, if Neymar were playing for a team like Palmeiras or Flamengo, he could be performing and playing much better, but this Santos team is really terrible

[SensitiveEyes]

Santos 0 - 3 Coritiba. Neymar was subbed in the match. Neymar has not justified why Carlo should write his name in the Brazil world cup team sheet. Brazil can play without Neymar. Carlo should dump Neymar from the world cup team because he did not see Neymar play like a genius 19 year old kid. Brazil can win the world cup without Neymar.

Lol!!!!
This reminds me of me back to school... I always was  terrible playing footbal, it was no use play as defender because anyone could easily dribble past me... I did not play as a full-back or midfielder because I could npt control ball or even react so quickly enough to make passes before having the ball stolen, so what did I do? I stayed way up to front, just wait to receive a pass of ball, completely free to shoot towards the goal (yes, I was always offside, but at school the teacher abolished this rule for us).

So.... I was always the top scorer of the match and the same time I am the worst player.

Your idea is practically the same... since Neymar is not as good player as he used to be, leave him near the goal, just get the ball and shoot towards the goalkeeper

Well, tomorrow we will know what happens, I fear Neymar will be called up, unfortunately.

Did you see Tiago Leifert's theory about the fourth official and Neymar's call-up? Now these guys are pulling stories out of thin air to justify things, it's crazy. The guy subbed Neymar out either by mistake or on purpose (God only knows) and now they're saying he’s the hero of the call-up because Neymar could have gotten injured in the match... it's unbelievable, honestly.
