At first, Casemiro spoke about how close he is to Neymar and the position that the national team’s coaching staff has adopted.

“It’s a very uncomfortable topic (to talk about). I am a friend of Neymar. I have been playing with Neymar since we were 12 years old (…). It is very clear. At least in my opinion. Neymar doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. Ancelotti has already made the physical question clear, whether he can get closer (to the ideal level) physically. Talent… It’s not even necessary to talk about the great player he is, the great player he has been and the talent he has with the ball at his feet.“he said in an interview with ESPN Brazil.

Casemiro also concluded by highlighting the importance of Neymar reaching ideal conditions before the 18th.

“The big issue is the physical aspect (…) If he is in good physical shape, there is no discussion. He has to go (to the World Cup), he is the main man of the team, he is the star of the team. The point is that it is also up to him to be in good physical shape.“.
