Can Neymar still go to the World Cup? Can he find a suitable role in the Brazilian team?

After returning from injury in November, Neymar has started 3 games in the Brazilian League, especially against the second and fourth ranked teams in the league with a record of 1 win and 1 draw, allowing Santos to escape the relegation zone.

Although a penalty kick was given due to a foul on the defensive end, Neymar, who played at a high level in the false nine position in the opening stage, still proved that he can still run and help the team. Even if he goes to a stronger team, his role will be even greater.

Neymar still has a large running range and up-and-down ability in the false nine position. He can instigate the advancement of both wings. At the same time, he can do a good job of breaking out during the transition between offense and defense, and can lead the attack.

Especially the single-handed goal was a very high-quality run without the ball, spanning half of the court. After all, Santos' teammates' abilities are still biased, and many times they are unable to effectively take advantage of Neymar's retracement and passing opportunities.

Even in the past few games, Neymar has had many shots of returning to the center circle and then returning to the penalty area to grab shots. These can disrupt the opponent's defense deployment in the core area. Unfortunately, on the one hand, he failed to grasp the last shot, and on the other hand, his teammates were unable to take advantage of such opportunities to launch a second attack.

I wonder if Ancelotti can notice Neymar's recent games in Brazil. Neymar has proven that he can at least be a good back-up plan B. Even if he comes off the bench, he can bring some new changes to the team. Neymar's passing will be different if he can meet better teammates, and it will also release greater power.

Judging from the current tactics of the Brazilian team, Neymar can play as Plan B for a period of time in Cunha's position. It will not have much impact on the current overall thinking, and may even bring some bonuses.

It was just that Ancelotti was seeking better teamwork and Europeanization, so he did not recruit Neymar into the national team. I don’t know if Neymar can stay healthy in the future, whether the famous Italian coach will change his mind. After all, Neymar's passing and imagination may be able to change the direction of the game at critical moments.
