"There is no need to specially monitor his game – everyone knows that Neymar is very talented. But in modern football, it is important to be in excellent physical shape to realize this talent."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, said this while commenting on the conditions under which Neymar could be invited to the national team.
The expert emphasized that the star football player will take his place in the national team in this case: "If he restores his optimal condition, he will easily take his place in the national team. Everyone wants to see Neymar in good physical shape. I talked to him and said: 'You have time, recover and help the team as much as possible in the World Championship'."
Ancelotti said that he spoke with Neymar about this in the hotel before the game with Paraguay: "Our approach does not change. I would use him as a playmaker or a striker. He needs to be played closer to the center. Because he can no longer be effective on the flank, modern football requires strong physical indicators for this. But in the center, in the position of an attacking midfielder, he can easily perform."
It should be noted that Neymar recovered from his injury in the near future.
