The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, expressed his opinion on the possibility of Santos winger Neymar participating in the 2026 World Cup. The Italian coach left the 34-year-old out of the squad for the upcoming friendlies against France and Croatia in March and said the player would be invited back into the squad if he returned to peak fitness. " I didn't call Neymar now because he's not 100% ready.. We need players who are currently in their best form. Neymar must continue to work, play, demonstrate his best qualities on the field and good physical shape,” the press service of the Brazilian Football Confederation quotes Ancelotti as saying.. This season, Neymar managed to play four matches for Santos in all competitions, in which he scored two goals and provided two assists. Earlier it was reported that Neymar is ready to retire if he does not make it to the 2026 World Cup. Neymar loves to eat: his cook could not stand it and complained to the court.
