Neymar, the Santos forward, has voiced his disappointment after Brazil’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, omitted him from the squad for the upcoming international friendlies against France and Croatia.
Ancelotti announced his squad on Monday, leaving Neymar off the list. The Italian coach explained that the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star is not yet fully fit.
Speaking at an event in São Paulo, Neymar told reporters, I’m upset and sad about not being called up. But my focus remains the same, day after day, training session after training session, and game after game.
We’re going to achieve our goal. There’s still one final opportunity for a call-up, and the dream is still alive. That’s it—we’re in this together.
