Carlo Ancelotti released the list of players invited for the two friendlies against France and Croatia, challenges that will be played on March 26 and April 1. Two very important tests that are expected to finally decide the list of players that will represent Brazil in the "FIFA2026" World Cup. What stands out was the absence of Neymar.

The Santos star did not remain silent, but reacted publicly to Ancelotti's decision:

"I will say this because I can't let it go. Of course, I am disappointed and sad that I was not called up. But the focus remains the same, day after day, training session after training session, match after match. The focus remains. We still have the final call and the dream remains alive.", Neymar said, among other things.
