"Neymar playing on one leg is better than most Brazilian players" - Ronaldinho slams Ancelotti for leaving Neymar out of the national team

In Ronaldinho's opinion, 34-year-old Santos winger Neymar absolutely must travel with the national team to the World Cup.

Details: In a recent podcast interview, 45-year-old legendary former Brazil, Milan, and Barcelona winger Ronaldinho commented on Carlo Ancelotti's decision not to call up Neymar to the Brazil squad for the friendlies against France and Croatia.

Ronaldinho believes that even now, despite his age, Neymar is still head and shoulders above many Brazilian players:

"Neymar, even playing on one leg, is currently better than most Brazilian footballers. Honestly, I just don't find watching the Brazil national team as exciting as I used to. Neymar must be included in the squad for the World Cup." said Ronaldinho.

The drama surrounding Neymar and his chances of making the 2026 World Cup squad, which is set to be the final chapter in the 34-year-old Brazilian's career, is intensifying by the day. With the tournament fast approaching, Neymar's opportunity to make the final Brazil squad seems to be slipping through his fingers.
