“We don’t need to observe Neymar to know how talented he is. But in modern football, to maximize his ability, players must ensure their physical fitness. If Neymar is in the best condition, he will definitely be in the squad. I have spoken to Neymar and advised him to have time to prepare carefully to help the team conquer the World Cup," Ancelotti shared.

According to the Italian coach, Neymar can be arranged to play as a center forward, attacking midfielder or withdrawn striker.

“He cannot play on the wing, because modern football requires wingers to have a strong physical foundation. But Neymar can absolutely take on the role in the middle of the field,” Ancelotti affirmed.

The above statements show that Ancelotti has not completely removed Neymar from the squad, in the context that the 2026 World Cup is still 9 months away. However, the striker currently playing for Santos must improve his performance if he wants to compete for a place in the national team.

Since Ancelotti took over, Brazil have played four matches: winning against Paraguay and Chile, drawing against Ecuador and losing to Bolivia. These results show that the "Selecao" is still in the process of being shaped under the Italian strategist.

The embarrassing defeat made Neymar cry. In the early morning of August 18, in the 20th round of the Brazilian National Championship, Santos suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history when they were crushed by Vasco da Gama with a score of 0-6 at Morumbis Stadium.
