Ancelotti responds to critics over Neymar’s absence from Brazil squad: ‘I hear everything’

Neymar’s absence was one of the topics Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed.

For the March friendlies against France and Croatia, Carlo Ancelotti decided not to include Neymar in the Brazil squad, which reduces his chances of being part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The head coach spoke on the matter and sent a message to those who criticized his decision.

“I observe and hear everything that is said about Neymar,” Ancelotti began, during the pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday’s game against France, shared by Diario AS.
