‘I’m upset, sad’ – Neymar reacts after being dropped by Ancelotti from Brazil’s squad
Neymar Expresses Disappointment Over Omission from Brazil’s Squad
Santos forward Neymar has publicly expressed his disappointment following his exclusion from Brazil’s national team for upcoming international friendlies against France and Croatia. The announcement, made by head coach Carlo Ancelotti on Monday, revealed that Neymar would not be part of the squad due to concerns over his physical fitness.
Ancelotti cited Neymar’s lack of full physical condition as the primary reason for the decision. The coach emphasized the importance of having all players at their best for the matches.
In response to the news, Neymar addressed media representatives at an event in São Paulo. “I’m upset and sad about not being called up,” he stated. “But the focus remains day after day, training after training, game after game. We are going to achieve our goal. There is still one final call-up left, and the dream lives on. That is it, we are in this together.”
The Brazilian team is set to face France and Croatia later this month in what are anticipated to be crucial matches ahead of future competitions.
