Brazilian president, Louise Inassio Lula da Silva, ironed Neimar's participation in the 2026 World Cup.
During announcements on Brazil's public health system in Bello Horizonte (MG), the president of Brazil, asked a boy to the public who was the best player in Celesao.
Lula: Quem é que o Brasil tem de bom agora?
Criança: Neymar!
Lula: Neymar não tá nem jogando, cara! Ouvi ontem que ele é o primeiro jogador convocado em home office do Mundo.
É o maior que temos mesmo! 😂 pic.twitter. Com/ZIJv59E6VU— Bruno Guzzo® (@brunoguzzo) June 19, 2026
"Who does Brazil have good football now? “ Lula asked.
"The Neimar," replied the child.
"Nimar doesn't even play, man. I heard yesterday that Neimar is the world's first teleworking player. A player who works from home. I saw it online yesterday. Any day now they'll have to build a national team with artificial intelligence. Eleven Pelé", joked Lula.
Note that Neimar is a stated supporter of former president of Brazil, Zaih Bolsonaro.
Neimar remained in New Jersey, the team's base in the United States, and did not travel to Philadelphia with the mission for the fight against Haiti. As everything shows, Brazilian media say, it is expected to compete in the knockout phase, as long as Brazil qualifys.
