Brazilian President Luiz da Silva spoke to the media about his conversation with national team coach Carlo Ancelotti. Sport24.az, citing RMC Sport, reports that he and the Italian specialist discussed Neymar's possible participation in the upcoming World Cup:
"I spoke with Ancelotti and he asked me: 'Do you think Neymar should be called up to the national team?' I replied: 'If he is physically healthy, his level allows him to play in the national team (laughs)'.
It should be noted that Ancelotti is expected to announce Brazil's 26-man squad on May 18. The Italian coach did not invite Neymar to the national team's last training camp.
