The Brazilian national team officially confirmed that Neymar will miss this year's Copa America!
The 92-year-old Brazilian football genius has been selected for the youth team since 2009 and has been a blockbuster! However, he missed the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and did not make his international debut until July 2010.
After helping Brazil continue to win the U20 South American championship, the Santos talent, known as the "inner younger", was able to participate in the 2011 Copa America in Argentina with the senior national team, which was also the first major tournament experience of his career!
Next, in the Brazilian Confederations Cup held in July 2013, Neymar not only won a gold medal, but also won the single MVP of the entire tournament 4 times and won the Golden Ball Award and Bronze Boot Award, completely "fighting to fame"!
However, in the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Nei Shao, who was favored by the outside world as the "Pele ** person", went out as the core, although he contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in a row and won the bronze boot award of the event, but still missed the championship.
At the 2015 Copa America in Chile, Neymar once again stopped with Brazil in the quarterfinals, so his historical status in the national team began to be questioned. Fortunately, the arrival of the Rio Olympics saved him at this time, and the samba since the first day of the new century showed his due strength and led the team to win the championship, thus responding to many criticisms!
It should be said that Neymar "once in a century", but he encountered the same "worst samba" that is difficult to find in half a century! So in the subsequent 2018 World Cup and 2019 Copa America, he either went home early or simply absent until the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers and the main match scored the 77th goal for the Brazilian team, thus tying Pele and tied for the top scorer in the history of the Brazilian team.
For the stormy Brazilian team, Neymar's absence means the lack of the team's core, which may excite the number one rival Argentina! But on another level, it may also be a milestone tournament for Brazil to change their tactics, what are the specific results, and what kind of performance can they show?
In a few months in the United States, everything will have an answer!
