The call-up of the Brazilian national team assembled by Ramon Menezes did not include Neymar, and the coach broke his silence on the subject
Ramon Menezes did not summon Neymar for the friendly Brazilian Team against Morocco. The number 10 shirt PSG, who is injured, will not participate in the match against the Moroccans and his absence drew attention. After being called up, in a press conference this Friday, the 3rd, the interim coach of Brazil said that he did not have a conversation with the striker, but pointed out that he could be among the athletes that appeared on the list.
According to Ramon Menezes, Neymar is unquestionable. The striker was one of the main names of the Brazilian national team in the last 13 years, but lost space in this call-up. Even so, the interim coach of Brazil made a point of stressing that the number 10 could still appear in future lists and that he could be present in this first one that was put together after the World Cup.
We don’t even need to talk about Neymar, technically, we know what he can offer the Brazilian team. I haven’t spoken to Neymar. But he is an excellent player, he could be part of the list“, he stated.
Rodrigo Lasmar also spoke about Neymar. The Brazilian team doctor told details of another reason that made the striker stay out of the game against Morocco: “He will not be medically able to join us. Therefore, from our perspective, he could not be summoned. New exams will be carried out at the beginning of next week, but unfortunately for our next appointment he will not have clinical conditions“.
Without Neymar, check out the first call-up of the Brazilian team after the World Cup!
Goalkeepers: Mycael, Ederson and Weverton;
Defenders: Arthur, Emerson Royal, Renan Lodi, Alex Telles, Ibañez, Eder Militão, Marquinhos and Robert Renan;
Midfielders: Andre, Andrey Santos, Casemiro, João Gomes, Lucas Paquetá and Raphael Veiga;
Attackers: Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Richarlison, Antony, Vitor Roque and Rony.
Ramon pointed out that the call-up served to give chances to new players!
“First, it’s not easy for you to make a list of 23 athletes. I have a list of 55 watched and, at this moment, I know how much responsibility it is. Thinking about the search for balance. Under-20 players are athletes who play for their clubs and that’s why they’re here, and also to give opportunity to new athletes. There could be others on that list as well. It’s the choices and life is made of choices”, finished.
