Carlo Ancelotti knew what to expect. If the secret had been well kept, the Brazilian coach spilled the beans before even mentioning Neymar’s name among the 26 players called up for the next World Cup, saying: “I save the best for last.”
And as soon as he mentioned the name of the former Parisian, the former midfielder was left having to interrupt for several seconds. The fault of the loud applause in the audience which greeted the summons of the top scorer in the history of the Seleçao, not seen with the Brazil jersey since the fall of 2023.
The presence of Neymar among the 26 Brazilians sparked very strong reactions across the country. This is evidenced by the video published by Marcelo, former teammate of the Brazilian number 10 in the selection. “We’re going to tear everything apart,” he blurted, ecstatic.
The person also reacted on social networks. But mainly through three sponsored posts. The first for a fast-food fried chicken restaurant, the second for a site for purchasing electronic devices and a third for its equipment manufacturer Puma. “The call we’ve all been waiting for. It wouldn’t be a World Cup without Neymar”indicated the German brand.
His reaction at the time of Carlo Ancelotti’s announcement was also visible in a live published by his influencer friend Cris Guedes on the Madhouse TV channel. We see the native of Sao Paulo screaming, overjoyed “I’m there!” I’m there! » after falling into the arms of his friend.
“I saw with my own eyes how much you fought over the last 4 years to get to this point. Every battle, every setback, every time the world doubted and you kept going. God guided everything in the best way possible”greeted the influencer.
