Santos head coach Cuca is confident that Neymar will secure a spot in the Brazil national team squad for the 2026 World Cup. This opinion follows the forward's brilliant performance in the 2-0 victory over Coritiba in the Copa do Brasil. This is reported by Goal.com .
The 34-year-old Neymar played a key role in his team's victory, providing an assist to Gabriel Bontempo in the 20th minute of the match. Cuca emphasized that the player's style has evolved and his tactical intelligence will be a great asset for the national team under Carlo Ancelotti.
According to the coach, Neymar can now operate effectively in various areas of the pitch, specifically as a winger, a number 10 playmaker, or in a false nine position. His experience and ability to organize play are exactly what the Brazil national team needs.
Although Neymar has not appeared for the national team since October 2023, his current season performances are expected to be enough to convince Ancelotti. The final 26-man squad will be announced on May 18 in Rio de Janeiro.
