Without any doubt this is heartbroken for the Brazilian Federation and fans because hopes for high with he is surely one of the best person on duty here, and he can bring ultimate changes into team which can bring positive results as well he is veteran and having enough experience for doing things which are currently missing in Brazilian team for the win in big events but still this is not end of the world for them with most chances they will do their search again and have suitable person which can bring good changes in this team which is having talent and quality but still not able to have better results in last few years.
Now we are few months away from Copa América which is currently under their radar and then Soccer World Cup which is going to play in 2026, but they are not well-prepared for these both events and things are going from bad to worse in last few years which needs quick fixing.

Hm this is hard to tell for others, but I think if I am honest now, assuming that I earned 50 million euros a year or even much more than that, I don't know if I would stay focused on sports only or if felt the need to appreciate life outside of sports sometimes. I know that we can quickly judge him and say that he has everything other people are wishing for, but something inside me shows some understanding for him.

But this only refers to his desire to appreciate life and money. His behavior on the pitch sometimes made me angry. Like his attitude and all the diving he did or the acting when he was fouled as if he was about to die. That's really what I hate about him and it is not worthy of a superstar.

Bad news for Brazil national teams after Real Madrid confirming have reach agreement deal with Carlo Ancelotti get extended contract until two years later. Last months have linked with Ancelotti will be Brazil head coach after his contract expiry with Real Madrid but change with this plan and Ancelotti get extend contract.
All over with CBF want to make Ancelotti will be Brazilian national team head coach and right now they have to find right manager for preparing team will play on Copa America few months later.

Some very important news for the Brazilian national team and its plans for the 2026 World Cup: current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has just renewed his contract with Real for another two seasons, until 2026, which frustrates Brazil's plans to have the coach for the next World Cup.
Now the CBF has to find a new coach, and it can't take too long because the Copa America will be in 2024 and the ideal thing is to start the project right away

Here's the news: https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2023/12/29/658ebad046163f9d058b45ad.html

It was very bad news for Brazil, I was betting that the coach would take over Brazil during the Copa America next year

Unlike the club that invests a lot of money to recruit world -class star players. The national team should have better strength and ability because they should be able to facilitate the talents of young players by holding domestic competitions or by providing investment for infrastructure development in football. I saw the decline of Brazil was very sad because they seemed to really be drowned from football. In the past they were always considered the king of world football and always entered as a favorite champion but after the 2014 World Cup they had lost their big names.

Bazil has many young players and you can even see on the news players like Vitor Roque and Endrick.
Both of these players are under 20 years old and they can play for their teams for years, Endrick is going to play for Real Madrid and Vitor Roque is going to play for Barcelona which means they can grow into the two best teams in the world.
It's time for Brazil to pay more attention to the younger players like these two players and forget about Neymar, however, maybe they need to use another coach for 2026 to get better results, but I do think if they will accept to use any non-Brazilian coach yet.

Opi I agree with you because from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers the way Brazil team is performing is really disappointing we never expected this kind of performance from Brazil team. Undoubtedly, Brazil is a strong team but there is a lot of criticism regarding their current performance. Of course they need a reliable course to strengthen their team well. If the 2026 World Cup goes like this, the Brazilian team will be in a very bad situation and their hexa mission will fail again.

The 2026 World Cup is still more than 2 years away and there is still enough time for Brazil to improve and have team that is truly strong and capable of competing in the biggest competition in world football.
We all know that Brazilian star Neymar is mainstay player for the Brazilian national team in every competition they participate in and for several seasons Neymar has suffered several injuries and caused his performance to decline very significantly, but Neymar can still help at least in few minutes of the match at the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior are two young players who can still develop very well in the future, moreover, the decline in performance of these two players is not that bad and the injury experienced by Vinicius Junior will not affect his performance as midfielder.
I sure that the Brazilian national team will be able to improve everything towards the 2026 World Cup, especially when Ancelotti really focuses on being coach there, then the Brazilian national team will show very good game.

It seems we are both points on the same point as you said.
But I still can't understand why some players like Neymar and some other superstar players lose their way, they have a reputation and good form and everything they need to have but they are not going the right way.
Maybe if Neymar was trying to keep himself in the right way to give more priority to his professional career he could be a true leader for his team in the 2026 World Cup and help his team like Messi did in Argentina but Neymar is paying more attention to other thing and I think other than the playing of Neymar which is the reason for him to get injured more often, he should make some changes in his professional life.

You didn't read my post correctly. I didn't use the correct conditional phrase grammatically, that is true, but I essentially said the same as you. That's why there is no disagreement between us.

To me there is no doubt that if Neymar was fit and if he was in overall perfect condition, he would be an amazing player. But the most amazing player is of no value to the team when that player is injured all the time or not sufficiently focused on the game and instead prefers to celebrate parties and traveling.

They have enough time with Neymar is not only option they can go through with many other available options which can bring good performance and consistency but right now their main issue is who is going to be next coach because now they are going to be had any non-Brazilian coach which bring some changes and also having new strategy which bring something new for them because currently they are having few coaches which are fail to improve quality and bringing consistency even there is no guaranteed about anything but still Brazil is one of the best country for the soccer and legendary players so we can expect fightback from them in coming days even they still need time for winning big title because things are never been easy at the main event for any big team.

Not sure if Brazil will have enough time for the 2026 World Cup to have a stronger team. Because players like Neymar are totally out of their good form and they can't definitely help the team, also Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior are both not at a good level to sine for their teams. Even Vinícius Júnior was injured two times during this season and this can show us even Vinícius Júnior can't be a radilable player for Brazil in the 206 World Cup.
I don't expect to see a good performance from Brazil in the next World Cup in 2026 unless they try to find a better coach and start investing in younger players they have to make more stable teams.

Neymar us arguably the best player in the Brazilian national team for the past one decade and that's why it's very understandable that the Brazilian fans are gonna miss him as he's been confirmed that he wouldn't be part of the national team that'll be playing in next Copa America. That being said, the Brazilian national team as we all know is one of the most talented national team in the world as majority of their players are big star in their respective clubs especially in Europe.
They still have star players that can perfectly fit in to the same position that Neymar Jr plays for the national team. Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr can play in place of Neymar as well his Real Madrid teammate Rodrygo. It is believed that Carlo Ancelotti will take over the management of the Brazilian national team immediately after the expiration of the current European football season which will be his last season with Real Madrid and as a manager who has been managing over four of the current Brazilian team members in his Real Madrid team, I believe he's gonna know how best to manage the Brazilian national team perfectly.

No doubts neymar used to be a very good player with excellent performance and form but until recently he lost his form and no longer looks fit enough because he has suffered too many injuries and been this injury prone isn't a good thing for the Brazilian side so as to avoid been disappointed in the world cup.

If he is allowed to play for the team, considering he is currently injury prone, chances are he .ay get injured in one of the games and if the team had some level of dependency on him, it's really going to adversely affect the team so bad so it will be better if the team is able to get a better substitution probably look amongst their young players so they will be sure not to have much dependency on him and aswell position their selves to be ready for uncertainties. At this point I think on health grounds it wouldn't be really bad if Neymar decides to retire.

Yes, I certainly agree with you. The bigger thing is to get the players to get along with Ancelotti and I think Ancelotti will be able to achieve this as he is already training a few of them like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, etc. Although he is not Brazilian, he can control them and get along with the team very well.

The new Brazilian team is very young and very promising. Until the 2026 team arrives they are going to be more mature as a player and probably will be looking to win the World Cup. They actually can probably win the 2026 and complete their hexa dream.

if we take Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. What is the other South American national team that could be considered strong? if we take Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. What is the other South American national team that could be considered strong? it does not have. Venezuela is weak, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru are all weak teams. Brazil and Argentina are very strong and were lucky to be in an area made up of extremely weak teams, which is why even if Brazil is in that bad situation, it has not become a big danger to the point that they are thinking about dismissing the national coach. If Brazil were in Europe in some qualification group, they would not qualify, because Europe is the place where there is strong competition for qualification. Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Denmark, Greece, Ukraine... there are many strong teams in Europe

and the competition in Europe is very strong, unlike in South America which is dominated by Brazil and Argentina, Ugruguay has also managed to impose itself, but has not achieved great things when they reach the World Cup. In my opinion, Europe will dominate football for many long years, because they invest a lot in football and love football and every year more teams from Europe are improving, while in South America the situation of local leagues has not evolved , just see that 90% of the players on South American national teams are players who play on European teams, this is because even South Americans themselves know that Europe is more competitive

The biggest question currently is Carlos Ancelotti going or not with no one available for the question, and we have to wait until June 2024 as this season will be ended then all updates will be available because few months back I also read they have deal for the two years and Carlos Ancelotti will be done this job until 2026 world cup, but now few are giving updates now Real Madrid is trying to extend his contract which can create problems because currently he is doing good job at this club, and they are also happy with having trophies are coming but still nothing is clear.

Brazil having too many quality players, but those are having somebody chemistry issue which is preventing them from having better results, so this problem needs a good coach which can bring better depth between players for having better results.

Yeah but the question is, will Ancelotti become the Brazil manager for the world cup?
Not every Brazilian agrees that they must hire him, even their President does not agree about that.
Madrid will also offer him a big sum of money to extend his contract. Madrid is on the right track under Ancelotti, they will do their best to keep Ancelotti there for the next season.

Neymar will absent on Copa America after confirming his injury need longer time for recovering, its not problem for Carlo Ancelotti will be Brazil head coach on Copa America because he has many alternative with attacking line from Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison. I believe under Carlo Ancelotti have work with many top Brazil players with club not get difficult for them how to understand with Ancelotti scheme.
I think most important for Ancelotti how to get fans trusted how to get good achievement on Copa America before facing match in World Cup qualifier, left few months later Brazil will play on Copa America and give first trophy will make Ancelotti easily for target winning FIFA World Cup 2026.

I wouldn't say Neymar is the only star player in the Brazilian Squad. His performance has not been up to the mark in recent times. Ancelotti is rumored to be taking over Brazil's management. He can bring the best out of the squad that he has been given. The 2021-22 Real Madrid UEFA Champions League was an example. He made Benzema won a Ballon D’or. So if he can join the team, I think Brazil can do good in the World Cup 2026 and probably can complete their hexa world cup dream.

Brazil has players full of talent and I believe Ancelotti can bring the best out of them. He is already managing MIlitao, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo. So he is used to train them which is even better.
