Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti said that Neymar remains on the team’s plans, but he must remember the re -fitness. Neymar did not deal with Brazil in two years, while injuries constantly hampered his chance to play consistently After returning to Santos After Stint with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Neymar wore a Brazilian jersey back in October 2023, when he eventually suffered serious damage to the knee ligament, which has since influenced his attempts to return. Ancelotti spoke to reporters before a friendly clash with Japan in Tokyo and said that Neymar could be back by side without any problems and has quality to play for any team in the world.
“Neymar can play at its highest level in this team without any problems,” Italian told reporters, as Reuters quoted. “When he is in good physical condition, he has quality to play not only in Brazil, but in any team in the world because of his talent.”
“Playing beautifully is important”
Since he took over as a coach of the Brazilian national team, Ancelotti supervised three victories, two draws and one loss. During this time, Brazil admitted only one goal and scored nine. Former World Champions scored five goals in their friendly against South Korea.
Ancelotti said that balance and teamwork remain the main thing for his party at the moment.
“The Brazilian national team wants to play beautiful football and can play it, yes, but it depends on what you mean by a beautiful game,” he said.
“Of course, players have individual quality and determination. You have to play beautifully with the ball and also without the ball, which is an important aspect.”
“The commitment and teamwork are essential. Playing beautifully is important, but the most important thing is to win.”
The clash against Japan provides Brazil and Ancelotti a chance to improve their methods.
