"Neymar, Neymar, Neymar": Casemiro n'en peut plus des questions sur son coéquipier star
At a press conference, Casemiro appeared irritated with the journalists. When questioned about Neymar, whose name has been everywhere since his selection by Carlo Ancelotti for the last World Cup of his career, the Brazilian midfielder lamented the excessive focus on him, at the expense of the team as a whole.
Casemiro speaks his mind. Speaking to the Brazilian press, the Manchester United midfielder, called up to Brazil for the 2026 World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti, addressed his teammate Neymar. The 34-year-old Brazilian star, selected to play in what will almost certainly be his last World Cup, has been the talk of the town since the announcement, and even more so now that he has been ruled out for several weeks, less than a month before the start of the global competition.
So naturally, questions very regularly focus on the former PSG striker, which doesn't please Casemiro, who made his feelings known to the press. "Once again, we come here and we always have to talk about Neymar, Neymar, Neymar. I think Neymar is a player like any other in the squad, an important player among the 26. They are all important. That's all."
Will Neymar be out for the clash against Morocco?
A clear and deliberate statement, delivered by the very person who had previously advocated for his compatriot's return to the national team. The latter had described him as "indispensable" after the friendly defeat against France on March 26 (1-2).
Currently sidelined with a calf injury, Neymar is not expected to recover for "two or three weeks," the Seleção's doctor said on Thursday. This could prevent him from being fit for Brazil's opening match of the campaign against Morocco (June 14 at midnight), a semi-finalist in the 2022 edition.
