Whether or not Neymar will be included in Brazil's squad for the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico has now officially become a national issue.
The Santos star, who scored again in the draw with Recoleta (1-1, 15/4), is doing everything he can to convince Carlo Ancelotti to include him in the final call-up for the big event. However, it seems the matter is not so simple.
This is because in recent hours, a vidcast featuring the... president of Brazil, Lula, has gone viral. He revealed that the Italian coach of the Seleção asked him for his opinion on the matter.
Lula, who has publicly spoken not so kindly about Neymar, replied that he must be in good shape and contribute, not just be there because of his... name.
It is worth remembering, however, that Ancelotti recently explained that "Ney" is on the right track to earn a place in his selections.
