Carlo Ancelotti left Neymar out of the Brazilian National Team call-up last Monday (16)


The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced the call-up for the March friendlies last Monday (16), without Neymar. Thus, Vinicius Júnior commented on the chances of the forward being on the list and emphasized that the decision is up to Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti is very clear about what he wants, and I cannot interfere in any of that. But we know Neymar's quality, and we know that if he is ready to help us, Ancelotti will take him, and we will be together at the World Cup — said Vinicius Júnior, in an interview this Tuesday (17), to TNT Sports Brazil.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

Neymar continues to struggle with injuries and to maintain good physical condition over a long period. Thus, due to his recent history, the star has not been called up to the Brazilian National Team for more than two years.

Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti has not yet called up Neymar for the Brazilian National Team. Last Monday (16), the Italian coach released the list for the two friendlies this March, against France and Croatia, which precede the World Cup.

However, Carlo Ancelotti made it clear that there could still be changes to the final World Cup list, which will be announced on May 18. The Italian coach confirmed that there are still available spots and that he will analyze, leaving a glimmer of hope for Neymar.

AND WHAT ABOUT VINI JR'S SITUATION?

Vinicius Júnior was called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the March friendlies. Meanwhile, the former Flamengo player scored two goals this Tuesday (17) against Manchester City (ENG). Finally, he secured Real Madrid's (ESP) qualification to the Champions League quarter-finals.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, while the FIFA Date does not arrive, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. This is because the Most Beloved takes the field this Thursday (19), at 8 pm (Brasília time), against Remo, at Maracanã.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information directly from the stadium, with reports by Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, broadcasts the match valid for the Brazilian Championship.
