Unless you are Brazilian or a proper Seleçao fan, you simply lack the depth required to evaluate this Neymar call-up. The same applies to any national team really: international call-ups, especially for major tournaments, are influenced by so many more factors than just form.
Also, form is contextual. Club form matters less, especially for non-problem areas/functions, than you think. In this case, Neymar's utility transcends the pitch. He is a symbol, spiritual, psychological; the soul of a nation, the dying essence of ginga. He means something intangible but nevertheless utterly significant, so if he demonstrates even the minimum of fitness and form, he comes under serious consideration. The scales are not balanced, but that is the reality of football, of life.
Since the exclusion of Joao Pedro is the current cause celebre, let's take him. What would he add that is missing from the group? Goals, hold-up? Igor Thiago has more. Flair, imagination? Neymar. Positional versatility, dribbling, pressing? Matheus Cunha.
Am I saying every call-up in the list deserves it over him? Not necessarily. However, whether in Carlos Ancelotti's estimation or objectively, all have performed better in yellow, so they have that going for them. And that matters. Football is a team sport, and team sports are about dynamic interactions between individuals. Those interactions create a context separate from what players are comfortable with at club level.
As the coach, you do not want to be trying to force that during a 5-week-long tournament with the highest conceivable stakes. You want to know it's there, not hope it could be. As such, you will take a marginally less talented player who has shown you something on international duty over a much more gifted one who, for whatever reason, has yet to find his feet.
@Miyen_mimdit@jumuiya Nilepet doesn’t have the balance sheet to invest. They missed out on Kenya Pipeline IPO, I don’t expect them to invest in Dangote refinery, unless something drastic changes
