Ahead of their first game of the tournament, Neymar spoke at a media session about the Brazil squad and their possibility of winning the tournament. They are one of the favourites to win the tournament and they were the finalists in the 2021 edition.
The former Paris Saint-Germain star who has been a key for Brazil over the recent years, has not made it into the squad, because he is still recovering from the cruciate ligament and meniscus tear in Neymar’s left leg he suffered back in November. This is a big miss for the side as he has been the main player in the major tournaments for the side. The 32-year-old footballer has also been impressed with Estêvão Willian and also called him a genius.
Neymar dawns the No.10 Jersey for the national side, and since his absence, Real Madrid footballer Rodrygo has been wearing the No.10 for the Selecaos. He believes that the Los Blancos winger will be able to step up wearing the jersey for the national side and will be performing well in the tournament.
