Neymar watches Brazil match and shows support after Ancelotti snub | OneFootball

Neymar watched Brazil's game this Thursday, against Chile, at Maracanã, for the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup, despite not being called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The player made a point of posting a photo of his TV at home broadcasting the game, showing support for the Brazilian team even though he is not part of the group chosen by the Italian coach to play the last two games of the Qualifiers.

Neymar would not have been called up by Ancelotti due to an edema in the adductor, however, after the goalless draw of Santos with Fluminense, in the last round of the Brasileirão, the player admitted that his absence from the team's list was only due to a "technical decision".

Neymar is the highest scorer in the history of the Brazilian team, with 79 goals, two more than Pelé, and has the mission to return to the Canarinho team as soon as possible, as there are only seven commitments left until the World Cup.

Without Neymar, the Brazilian team's number 10 jersey was worn by Raphinha. The number 7 jersey of Vinícius Júnior, who was also not called up, was worn by João Pedro, one of Ancelotti's new additions for the game against Chile.
