Marca: Neymar s defeat was purely a competitive consideration, An Shuai has no intention of intensifying the conflict, but the players requested an explanation

September 4th, in this issue of Brazil's national team, coach Ancelotti did not recruit Neymar. The Spanish media Marca talked about this move.

Marca wrote that

Nemar once again became the focus of heated discussions in Brazil. His former leader charm and football skills may make people think that he is still old. However, his performance on the Green Field, especially his physical condition, is gradually dissolving the expectations of the players themselves and the majority of fans. All this needs to be derived from his actual competitive level.

Ancelotti has a clear position and will never compromise with any form of pressure. This matter has nothing to do with personal grudges, it is purely a competitive consideration. When any player is recruited to join the team, the all-round impact it may cause is an important evaluation dimension for national team selection.

Ancelotti has not included Neymar on the roster at this stage, but this does not mean that the national team has closed the door to Neymar. The reason why Ancelotti chose other alternatives was based on a comprehensive analysis of his game performance and physical fitness data, although he had long foreseeed that the absentee list would inevitably cause an uproar in public opinion. This roster does not include all players who will participate in the 2026 World Cup.

Marca said that Ancelotti had no intention of intensifying the conflict. On the contrary, he took the initiative to avoid conflict and therefore believed that it was wise not to recruit Neymar. The players' state on the court is not enough to support their selection in the national team. Ancelotti himself admitted that no one questioned Neymar's efforts and desire to return to the top, but his level has not yet proved that he has returned to his best form at this stage.

The coach will not give a personal explanation to each player who lost the Brazilian player, and Neymar's recent public remarks seem to be demanding such special treatment. As we all know, Neymar was once a benchmark figure, but it is undeniable that he has been away from the top stadium for a long time.

Nemar has repeatedly made remarks to Ancelotti and his decision to abandon it, and even bluntly stated that "his game performance should be examined." Ancelotti always maintained a unified caliber.

An Shuai said: "He is right. Losing is a technical decision based on multiple factors. I know the players' recent situation and the difficulties they encounter. Neymar's technical level is reproachable. We evaluate the physical condition, not only his, but all players. The competition within the team is extremely fierce, and 70 players are currently qualified to be selected."

At the same time, Rodrigo, who plays for Real Madrid, was also out of the list due to his lack of playing time at the beginning of this season and his lack of participation in the last few months of last season. Ancelotti did not give an explanation, nor did it arouse public opinion.
