Neymar Remains Indispensable For Brazil – Casemiro

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has reacted to the supporters chanting Neymar’s name during the friendly against France. The fans recently reaffirmed the claim for the inclusion of the Santos star in the squad, and the former Real Madrid coach has reacted.

According to him, the fans should focus on players that are playing because there is a lot of competition for a spot on Brazil’s final World Cup squad.

Casemiro added that Neymar remains indispensable for the national team, especially when he is in form.

His words, “We should be talking about those who were here, who played, who gave their all, who stepped up, and who worked hard. I am satisfied.

There is a lot of competition for a spot on Brazil’s final World Cup squad.”

Casemiro added, “We know the quality Neymar possesses. He is indispensable for any national team, especially when he is in form.

For my generation, he ranks in the top three: Cristiano, Messi and Neymar. I am a close friend of his, and it is not my place to decide who they are going to bring in.”

WOW.

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born 5 February 1992), known as Neymar Júnior or mononymously as Neymar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Brazil national team. A prolific goalscorer and playmaker, he is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and the best Brazilian player of his generation. Neymar has scored at least 100 goals for three different clubs, making him one of the few players to achieve this feat.

Neymar came into prominence at Santos, where he made his professional debut aged 17. Soon becoming the Brazilian’s league star player, he won the 2011 Copa Libertadores, being Santos’ first since 1963. He was named the South American Footballer of the Year in 2011 and 2012, and relocated to Europe to join Barcelona in 2013.

In his second season, as part of Barcelona’s attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, dubbed MSN, he won the continental treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League. Motivated to be the focal player at club level, Neymar unexpectedly transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017 for €222 million, which made him the most expensive player ever. In his debut season, he excelled in French football, winning the league title and being voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year.

Despite recurring injuries in Paris, he helped PSG attain an historic domestic quadruple in the 2019–20 season, during which the club also reached its first ever Champions League final, with Neymar being named in the UEFA Team of the Year for the second time in his career.
