Brazilian fans are calling for Neymar to be given a chance. |
During Brazil's 1-2 friendly defeat to France on the morning of March 27th, the stands echoed with chants of Neymar's name, demonstrating the immense influence of this star player on Brazilian fans.
The reason for this reaction from Brazilian fans stems from the poor performance of the "Selecao" attack. In the match against France, coach Ancelotti fielded an attacking quartet of Vinicius Junior, Matheus Cunha, Raphinha, and Gabriel Martinelli. However, this group disappointed by failing to break through the opponent's defense.
The biggest disappointment was Vinicius, as the Real Madrid star made several mistakes and proved ineffective when tightly marked. Before the match, Vinicius also displeased fans by declaring that Brazil was not a contender for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Vinicius and his teammates' lackluster performances have only intensified fans' longing for Neymar. The Santos striker was absent from this training camp due to not being fully fit.
Experts believe this is a crucial moment for Vinicius to assert his leadership role, potentially replacing Neymar as the team's star player in the future. If the Real Madrid star doesn't seize this opportunity, the "Selecao" will struggle to compete for the World Cup title next summer.
Regarding Neymar, coach Ancelotti is reportedly unhappy that the player is using social media and fan support to put pressure on the club. According to the Italian strategist, Neymar needs to prove his ability through his performances at Santos before thinking about a place in the World Cup squad.
