“I wanted to talk about this controversial subject of neymar not playing against Corinthians and gone to carnival. This is silly . I've seen many decisive games in my life. Neymar was unable to play against Corinthians. Without me knowing what happened, without me seeing any documents, without me seeing anything, I am sure he could not play against Corinthians. It was injured, the injury is greater than what everyone is talking about. Doing his comparison with Hulk is cowardice , ”said Luxembourg, in a video published on social networks.
the former coach of Flamengo also criticized the collection about Neymar and used Hulk as an example to argue that striker Santos was treated way Unjust .
“The Atlético-MG won four (from América-MG), so the other game was won practically. saved the Hulk because it could be a contracture to avoid an injury. They are doing a business with Neymar that I find it very absurd to do this, without basis, no one has a document showing that Neymar had conditions of play . They are just saying that he was not able to play because he went to Carnival. Heck, if he went to Carnival, absolute certainty that he was unable to play, "added Luxa. could have even played against Corinthians, but was spared at the request of the CBF for the commitments of the Brazilian team on March 20 and 25, against Colombia and Argentina. would be out of a decision if you could play. Countless times. They stop with nonsense, go beyond the right time, with the right things. This thing of doing these comparisons and Achisms in football, not knowing the reality, is very complicated. We are used to doing this all the time. Achism there, Achism here, ”concluded Luxembourg.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti will announce this Monday (25), at 3:30 pm , the 23 players who will represent the Brazilian National Team in the two final matches of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup . The matches will be against Chile, on September 4, at Maracanã , and against Bolivia, on the 9th, at El Alto Municipal Stadium.
The squad will be announced live at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro , with live broadcasts nationwide. Even with qualification for the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, already assured, Ancelotti is expected to make significant changes to the squad.
Among the new players, names that play in Brazil are expected to gain prominence. The Italian coach watched several matches in the country during the last FIFA International Day and opted to include prominent players from the national scene. Flamengo could be represented by Danilo, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Alex Sandro, and Samuel Lino, all of whom were on the preliminary squad list.
Additionally, players from other Brazilian teams are also on the radar. Cruzeiro, for example, has four pre-selected players, including Kaio Jorge, Matheus Pereira, and Fabrício Bruno. Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, currently with Santos and a product of the Minas Gerais team , is also considered for inclusion.
The preliminary list includes Neymar, but the striker's presence is uncertain . Santos reported last Saturday (23) that the player is treating an edema in his thigh. If he is not called up, he will complete two years without wearing the Brazilian National Team shirt.
The main confirmed absence is Vinicius Jr. Suspended for the match against Chile , the Real Madrid striker was removed from the pre-list and, even though he has been cleared to play against Bolivia, he will be preserved by decision of the coaching staff.
The 20-year-old midfielder has lost his place in the main squad, his future is uncertain and negotiations could yield millions of dollars for the Brazilian club.

Young midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, a Flamengo talent , is experiencing a period of uncertainty in his career. Without a place in the main squad, he was reinstated to the youth academy after the coaching staff determined his performance wasn't up to expectations.
Even so, the athlete continues to attract interest in the market. After inquiries from several clubs, including a rejected offer from Cruzeiro, CSKA Moscow appears to be the leading candidate to sign him.
According to information gathered by Gazeta do Urubu , talks between the Russian club and the player's representatives are already underway. CSKA is reportedly willing to pay around €5 million, plus bonuses for milestones, to acquire the player's rights outright.
Matheus Gonçalves, 20, is seen as a strategic asset to the Russian team's sporting project, which is seeking promising young players to bolster its attacking position. To date, however, the Rio de Janeiro club has not officially commented on a possible sale, nor has it confirmed any negotiations.
Flamengo's board has not yet indicated whether it intends to negotiate with the player . Internally, there is an understanding that Matheus is an important asset for the future, although the lack of opportunities in the main squad has fueled speculation about his departure.
