Neymar’s emotional message about the national team

Neymar Jr. did not take the field in the previous match for Santos. He took the field against Corinthians on Sunday (March 15) night. His team drew 1-1. Although he was on the field the whole time, the Brazilian star was not seen in his usual rhythm.

Brazil will play two warm-up matches this month. Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti will announce the team for that match today. Neymar himself is worried about his performance and fitness just before the team announcement. After the match, he said about his future in the national team, that although he has a strong desire to play in the World Cup for his country, the matter is no longer under his control.

After the match, Neymar said with disappointment, 'I want to return to the national team again and play the World Cup. But to be honest, it is no longer in my hands. Whether I am in the team or not, my support for Brazil will always be there.'

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti has already made it clear that no one will be taken on the plane to the World Cup if he is not 100% fit. Neymar was unable to play in the last match due to injury, which the coach himself saw sitting in the gallery. Despite having a last chance to prove himself against Corinthians yesterday, Neymar was ineffective.

Neymar has not worn the national team jersey since his injury in October 2023. Although he returned to the field for the club, he has left the field several times with minor injuries. Because of this, Neymar underwent knee surgery last December.

After that, he did not get the chance to play many matches for Santos this year. Although he showed his ability by scoring a pair of goals against Vasco da Gama, his World Cup fate is now hanging by a thread due to a lack of consistency.
