Dorival Júnior counts on the return of his star to revitalize the game of the Brazilian national team.
After a disappointing elimination in the quarter-finals of the Copa América 2024, the Brazilian national team is now looking to the future with a clear objective: the return of its superstar Neymar.
Although the absence of the Al-Hilal player was a major blow for the Brazilian national team, coach Dorival Junior seems determined to rebuild around the other talents in the squad.
Indeed, players like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Endrick have seized their opportunity in Neymar’s absence, offering new attacking options to the national team.
Despite these new nuggets, Neymar’s absence is sorely felt. The 32-year-old remains the emblematic figure of the Brazilian national team, with 79 goals in 128 selections.
His long-awaited return could well take place as early as the next international windows in September. Dorival has indeed indicated that Neymar is on the right track to return to competition and that he hopes to be able to count on him again for the next international competitions.
