In a conversation revealed by the Marca newspaper, Rodrygo said that Neymar told him that he does not intend to represent Brazil for a long time after the next World Cup in Qatar. “O Ney disse-me: ‘Vou sair da seleção, o number 10 é teu’.

A few months ago, in an interview, the player assured that it is “very sad to have the feeling that it doesn’t matter when you play for the national team.” “When I was a child, a simple fan, a game in Brazil was a real event”, Shooting.
