The President of Brazil Lula da Silva has unapologetically responded to a citizen’s claim, citing that, Neymar de Santos Jnr is no longer the player everyone knew in the last few years.
With Neymar failing to make the team sheet of the team as Brazil kick-started their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against North-African side Morocco in a 1-1 draw. His absence has ignited diverse conversation.
In one of the public dialogues, a citizen of Brazil had the opportunity to sing words of praises about arguably, Marquee player for the national team, Neymar, as the fan cited reasons for which the number-ten shirted guy is the best.
President Lula da Silva reacting to the fan claimed that, Neymar has not even made a minute of appearance for the country while stating why the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star can not be relied upon.
“Neymar is not even playing, man. He is the first work-from-home call-up world.” Adding that, “A work-from-home player… One of these days, they will have to make a national team with Artificial Intelligence 11 Peles.” President Lula said.
Now, Neymar Jr is expected to make his way back into the Brazil squad as the team warms up to play against Haiti in the second group game which could be the make or break tie for Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
