Neymar was called up to the Brazilian National Team for the World Cup this Monday (18). As a result, Gabigol, who was at the Santos star’s house, congratulated his teammate.
“I told you. I told you. You deserve it! It’s not because of your name, it’s because you deserve it,” said Gabigol. On the occasion, the former Flamengo player watched the national team call-up at Neymar’s house, together with his girlfriend Rafaella, sister of Santos’ number 10.
No! Gabigol was not included on the Brazilian National Team’s preliminary list for the 2026 World Cup. Even so, the former Flamengo player was rooting for Neymar to be called up by Ancelotti.
The Brazilian National Team called up four Flamengo players to compete in the World Cup. They are: Alex Sandro, Danilo, Lucas Paquetá and Léo Pereira. The players, therefore, will report to the Brazilian National Team starting on May 27 at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro.
With four players called up to the Brazilian National Team, Flamengo will face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20) at the Maracanã, in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match, therefore, is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
