Brazil struggles to include Neymar in starting lineup | Matheus Cunha

The Brazilian national team is struggling to include Neymar in the starting lineup. Michel Bastos, a former Brazilian national team player and CNN Sports commentator, analyzes Carlo Ancelotti's tactical options and says Neymar only has space as a false 9, a position currently occupied by Matheus Cunha.

What's happening with Neymar?

Neymar doesn't have a place among the Brazilian national team's starters in the current scheme adopted by Ancelotti. According to Michel Bastos, the only possible fit for Neymar on the team would be as a false 9.

Why is Matheus Cunha an obstacle for Neymar?

Michel Bastos highlighted Matheus Cunha's good performance as a determining factor for the difficulty in including Neymar in the starting lineup. The commentator recalled that Ancelotti publicly praised the attacker in a press conference.

What's next for the Brazilian national team?

Neymar's participation should be evaluated during the game, and it's up to Ancelotti to decide the best time and way to use him. If during the game Ancelotti understands that Matheus Cunha is not doing well, he can put Neymar in his place.
