The unexpected draw (1-1) against Venezuela in the last round of the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup is, these days, the least problem within the Brazilian team. This is because it has been a total mess outside the four lines… but let’s take it in parts. According to the local press, after the game, three sports stars organized a private party in a condominium in Cuiabá with three influencers, spending the night with them. Who are they? Vinícius, Richarlison and… Neymar, who even became the father of a girl in recent days, but may have ‘jumped the fence’ again.
But the controversies surrounding the Al Hilal star don’t stop there. Also after the final whistle, a fan threw popcorn at him. He got angry, retreated to the tunnel and there he argued with the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, criticizing the director for choosing Arena Pantanal to be the venue for the meeting, due to the behavior of the fans and… insulted him! Furthermore, he even threatened not to travel to face Uruguay and even expressed his desire not to return for the next FIFA date, in November, which will feature games against Colombia (away) and against rival Argentina, at Maracanã. However, Rodrygo defended his colleague. “No matter how much they always say bad things about him, those who live closely with him know that he is totally different. I am saddened to read certain comments”, he lamented.
On the field, selector Fernando Diniz has also had headaches. In the last few hours, he had to call on central defender Adryelson (Botafogo) to replace the injured Nino, at a time when Casemiro did not train due to complaints in his right ankle. The Man United midfielder should be replaced in the eleven by André, from Fluminense. On the right flank, Yan Couto will be the starter.
