Endrick on Neymar's Brazil Selection: I have no firm opinion, it's up to the coach

As the cover star of PLACAR magazine's May issue, Olympique Lyonnais forward Endrick discussed whether Neymar should be selected for the Brazilian national team to go to the World Cup in an interview with the magazine.

Oh, Endrick, how are you following this? All of this discussion revolves around Neymar, right? I know it's difficult - talking about peers, especially Neymar, all topics will be magnified and cause widespread attention, right? But you can't say that you haven't paid attention to it to some extent, right? Nowadays, people's opinions are very divided. Some people say that he no longer has the competitive state and passion he used to have, while others believe that Neymar is Neymar, and he will always be a unique existence. What do you think about this?

Ah, I haven't formed a very clear opinion, because we all know that Neymar is Neymar. Yes, he is a great player, a... I just watched his last game against Atlético Mineiro, and I can see that Neymar is still at the top level, he is really excellent. I am very happy to see him play, to see him in good condition, to see him living happily with his family and daughters now, and also to see that he is doing well in Santos.

I hope God will bless him so that he will not suffer any more injuries and can participate in as many games as possible, so that he will at least have the opportunity to be called up to the national team, you know? For the Brazilian team. He is a great player, and we all know how amazing his potential is. May God bless him on the 18th, of course, first and foremost, according to God's will, and then it will be Ancelotti's decision. If he can be selected for the national team, I have no doubt that he will completely dedicate himself to the team, not only for the team, but also for everyone in the Brazilian Football Confederation .
