Colossal support! Raphinha responds to question about whether he wants Neymar to join Brazil at the World Cup

It seems Ancelotti will have no other choice but to call up Neymar.

Details: In yesterday's post-match flash interview, one of the journalists asked 29-year-old Brazil and Barcelona winger Raphinha whether he wants 34-year-old Santos winger Neymar to go to the World Cup with the Brazilian national team.

Raphinha admitted that he sees Neymar as an incredible footballer who will undoubtedly benefit the team at the biggest football tournament, set to take place this summer:

"Yes, I hope so. He's an amazing guy. No one doubts his skill, or his ability to decide the outcome of a match—he can decide the fate of a World Cup. As a fan of Neymar both on and off the pitch, I hope to see him back in the national squad, ready to compete at this World Cup alongside us. In these friendlies, he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone about his talent or what he can bring to our national team. I believe that on the final day, with the last squad call-up, he'll be there with us," Raphinha confessed.

At this point, Ancelotti has not made a final decision regarding Neymar's call-up for the upcoming World Cup, but as we can see, his presence in the Seleção squad is eagerly anticipated not only by the fans but also by the Brazilian players themselves.
