Brazilian football star Neymar has reacted emotionally after being left out of the national team squad announced by head coach Carlo Ancelotti ahead of Brazil’s upcoming international friendly matches against France national football team and Croatia national football team scheduled for later this month.
The forward, who currently plays for Santos FC, admitted that he feels disappointed and unhappy after discovering that his name was missing from the official squad list released earlier this week. The announcement was made on Monday when the Brazilian coach confirmed the players selected for the international fixtures, and Neymar was not included among those called up.
According to Ancelotti, the decision was based on fitness concerns, explaining that the former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain attacker has not yet reached full physical condition required to compete at the highest international level. The coach emphasized that player fitness and readiness remain key factors when selecting the squad for competitive matches.
Speaking to journalists during a public event held in São Paulo, Neymar openly shared his feelings about the situation. He stated that missing the call-up was painful for him, but he remains determined to continue working hard in training and stay focused on returning stronger.
Neymar also noted that there is still one more squad announcement expected in the future, and he remains hopeful that he will be part of the team when that moment comes. He encouraged unity and persistence, saying that the dream of wearing the national jersey again has not ended.
The situation has generated reactions among football fans and analysts, as Neymar has been one of Brazil’s most influential players over the past decade. His absence from the squad highlights the importance of fitness, form, and tactical decisions in modern international football.
