Brazil World Cup roster emerges: 26 players are basically guaranteed 18 seats! Neymar and Anthony are likely to miss out

On November 4, in preparation for this month’s warm-up match, the Brazilian national team announced its roster. The Brazilian team will face two African teams, Senegal and Tunisia, both of which have also qualified for the World Cup. After the World Cup in Qatar, Brazil lost to Senegal in a friendly match and this time the Selecao were eager for revenge. Brazil World Cup roster emerges: 26 players are basically guaranteed 18 seats! Neymar and Anthony are likely to miss out.

At the press conference, Brazil coach Ancelotti talked about the World Cup roster situation. He said: "I think about 17-18 players are basically confirmed now." Ancelotti also revealed that the World Cup training will only bring 26 people. There will be an international match day in March before the World Cup. After that, the list will be clearer. If there are no injuries, this list will not change much.

The World Cup is now almost half a year away, and there is not much time left for each team to prepare. There are still two international match days for training. This November's roster is close to Brazil's final World Cup lineup. Judging from Anshuai's personnel selection, in the forward position, if the players stay healthy, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Cunha, Rafinha, Pedro and Esteban can all be selected. In the midfield position of the Brazilian team, the 33-year-old Casemiro is highly valued by Anshuai, and Guimarães is also the main player. In addition, Paqueta is also the main candidate, and Chelsea youngster Santos represents the future of the Brazilian team.

On the back line, the Brazilian team’s fixed center back positions are Marquinhos, Militao and Gabriel. The Brazilian team's full-backs are now facing recruitment problems and lack of talent. The 34-year-old Sandro and Danilo have been recruited again. They can play as full-backs or central defenders and are expected to be selected for the World Cup. At the goalkeeper position, the three players should be Alisson, Ederson and Bento.

As for Neymar, the Brazilian team’s top scorer in recent years and the team’s top scorer in team history, it is too difficult to compete in the World Cup. Mainly because Neymar has suffered too many injuries and is in poor condition. Since the 23-24 season, Neymar has only played 29 games for Riyadh Crescent and Santos Club, scoring 7 goals and assisting 5 times. The 33-year-old Neymar, who suffers from frequent injuries, has long bid farewell to his peak period and his strength has been greatly reduced.

Anthony has little hope of being selected. He has no body, no speed, and has no advantage in strong dialogue. The Brazilian team was eliminated by Croatia in the last World Cup and Anthony came on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Even though Anthony is performing well in La Liga, Anshuai did not choose him. Brazil has failed to reach the top 8 in two consecutive World Cups. I don’t know how far it can go next year.
