According to Neymar, the decision will ultimately be made by Ancelotti, but the Brazilian is confident he's put in the maximum effort to make it happen:

"I can't answer your question... Ancelotti will decide whether I deserve it or not.

I've worked hard for this. If I'm not called up, I'll just be another fan cheering for Brazil at the World Cup." Neymar said.

Previously, Neymar was included in Brazil's preliminary World Cup squad, but the final decision hasn't been made yet, as Ancelotti still needs to trim down the roster and name the definitive list of players heading to the World Cup.
