Speaking at an event in Sao Paulo, Neymar confessed to feeling “upset and sad” after Carlo Ancelotti excluded him from the national team for the March internationals.
While the manager pointed to a lack of 100% physical fitness, Neymar emphasized that his work ethic hasn’t wavered.
With only one final squad announcement remaining before the tournament, the former Barcelona man is determined to prove his readiness and keep his World Cup aspirations alive.
