England boss heaps praise on Neymar, compares him to Messi and Ronaldo | OneFootball

Neymar will not be available for Brazil’s World Cup opener

Neymar was one of the names that sparked the most debate before the Brazil National Team squad announcement. However, despite being called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti, the player will not be available for Brazil’s opener against Morocco, as he is recovering from an injury. England manager Thomas Tuchel did not hold back in his praise and compared the midfielder to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

— One of the biggest names, just like (Cristiano) Ronaldo and Messi. He is an incredibly talented player, with a big personality. He has the personality, confidence, and quality to decide matches at any level -, he said, before concluding:

— It’s just a physical issue, and I don’t know about that. He’s in the squad and, of course, makes your team more dangerous, and you are always in the running when it comes to World Cups and titles. That is obvious and makes everything a little more difficult for everyone -, Tuchel concluded in a press conference..

What is Neymar’s situation?

Neymar suffered a grade two calf injury on May 17, in a match between Santos and Coritiba. As a result, the No. 10 is under the care of Brazil’s medical department as he recovers from the injury. In other words, the expectation is that the midfielder will be available to Carlo Ancelotti in the second round of the group stage.

What is the Brazil National Team’s next match?

The Brazil National Team continues preparing for its World Cup debut. On Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV channel), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV), and N Sports (pay TV channel) will broadcast the Brazil National Team’s opener.
