Neymar, Saudi Al-Hilal forward, said this Tuesday, upon his arrival at Brazil’s camp to play in the third and fourth rounds of the South American qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup, that the coach Fernando Diniz “He is one of the best coaches in the world of football.”
“Diniz He is a great coach, one of the best coaches we have in the world of football.in my opinion,” assured the number 10 shirt to reporters in the city of Cuiabá, where the ‘canarinha’ will play against Venezuela on Thursday at the Arena Pantanal.
Neymar is the last on the list of 23 to join the national team because last week she accompanied the birth of her daughter, Mavie, result of his relationship with model Bruna Biancardi.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player has always praised Diniz’s work, even before he was in the national team.
“It gives us freedom and confidence”
“The freedom it gives us, not only me, but all the players, and the trust is the most important thing,” stressed the Al-Hilal forward.
Since last July, Brazil has been led by Diniz, who combines the position of national coach and Fluminense coach, which this year he brought to the final of the Copa Libertadores.
The idea of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is that Diniz is in charge of Brazil a year before making way for Italian Carlo Ancelotti, now at Real Madrid.
Accustomed to heat
Regarding the match with Venezuela, Neymar said he expects a “difficult match”, but they will prepare well to get the three points.
“I admit it’s a bit hot, but the way I’m used to it because of (Saudi) Arabia it’s also very hot. Everyone suffers from that, but the game (against Venezuela) will be at night, so it will be calmer,” he explained .
Against Venezuela and Uruguay
After the test with Vinotinto, Brazil will face Uruguay on Tuesday next week at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.
The five-time world champion added two victories in the first two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The ‘Canarinho’ team defeated Bolivia 5-1 and defeated Peru by a narrow margin (0-1) in Lima.
