(VIDEO) Neymar Reacts With Humor to His Absence From Brazil’s Squad
The decision sparked surprise, but his reaction was the complete opposite of what many expected.
Neymar takes it lightly despite the snub
What had already been widely expected was confirmed this Monday: Neymar Jr. was not called up to the Brazil national team for the final international break before the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, a sign that raises doubts about his presence at the tournament.
However, far from reacting with frustration or anger, the Brazilian chose to take it with humor. The player himself shared on his official YouTube channel the exact moment he found out about Carlo Ancelotti’s squad list while undergoing physiotherapy, showing a relaxed attitude toward the news.
A clear message: disappointment, but commitment
After learning of the decision, Neymar did not hide his feelings, although he made it clear that his mindset remains positive.
“The national team squad has just been announced and we weren’t selected. I’m obviously sad,” said the Santos forward.
Even so, the Brazilian showed maturity and commitment to the team, making it clear he is not giving up:
“I will always support the national team and everything is fine. Now it’s time to keep working and improve in every way so that, if the opportunity comes, I’m ready.”
An increasingly uncertain future
Missing out on this squad is not a minor detail. It represents the final test before the World Cup, so his exclusion suggests that his place in the final roster is seriously at risk.
Despite that, Neymar remains focused on regaining his best form, hoping to turn things around and once again wear the Brazil jersey on the biggest stage.
