Current Copa America The picture of him breaking down in tears after Brazil’s exit from the quarter-finals caused a reaction on social media. The former demanded that Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior be returned to the national team before the start of the 2026 World Cup.
Tite’s successor, Dorival Jr., has taken the responsibility of building the Brazil team in a new way by focusing on youth. But from the beginning of the current Copa, questions began to arise about Brazil’s simple football. Bebeto, one of the stars of the 1994 World Cup winning Brazil team, believes that Neymar should be left behind to form the 2026 World Cup team. In ‘O Globe’ newspaper he said, “Injuries are a curse for any footballer. But Neymar is now healthy. With him, new coach Dorival will have to prepare Brazil for the next World Cup.” He also said, “Young stars like Vinicius Jr., Rodriguez, Andrić will benefit if Neymar is there. No need to worry too much about Koper’s failure. We have to prepare for the World Cup.”Junior, a former footballer who played for Brazil in the 1982 World Cup, said, “This Copa America was the best preparation stage before the World Cup. But the proof is that Brazil has not yet reached a place to play without Neymar. There are still two years left. A healthy Neymar must be returned.”
