🙌The Prince is back: Ancelotti confirms Neymar is fit | OneFootball

After a delayed arrival in Miami due to a severe storm in New Jersey, Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference at Hard Rock Stadium. The Italian manager analyzed this Wednesday’s decisive clash against Scotland at the 2026 World Cup and shared important updates about his squad.

Beware of the aerial game and stay fully focused

Ancelotti warned about the British side’s main strengths, highlighting their physical power and strict tactical organization in a 4-4-2 setup. The coach identified long balls and crosses as major threats, specifically pointing to Scott McTominay and John McGinn.

He also ruled out paying attention to the parallel match between Morocco and Haiti, their direct group rivals. "We’re not going to focus on Morocco, we have to play well and improve on what we did against Haiti," he said.

The return of the No. 10 and excitement over Endrick

The big news for the Canarinha is that their biggest star has been medically cleared. Neymar is fully available after an intense week of training and will make his first appearance in this World Cup.

Asked repeatedly by fans about whether young Endrick would start, the coach joked with the press: "Tomorrow Neymar is back too. Who are the people going to cheer for? I think both of them," he concluded with a laugh.
