This is the last international period for the Brazilian national team before announcing the final squad for the World Cup, raising questions about Neymar's chances of being included in the final selections.
Press reports indicated that the Santos player spoke with his teammates about the possibility of participating in the World Cup this summer, confirming that the tournament represents his last chance to appear on the global stage before considering retirement from football.
The Brazilian national team coach, Carlo Ancelotti, had previously emphasized that the criteria for selecting the squad in the upcoming period will primarily depend on the players' physical and technical readiness, stressing that names or history do not guarantee a place in the lineup without full readiness.
