The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, did not include the world's most expensive player in the squad for two friendly matches to be held in the USA against France and Croatia on March 26 and 31. Brazilian media reported that forward Neymar expressed his sadness at not being called up to the Brazilian football team for two friendly matches later this month in preparation for the World Cup. Neymar's (34-year-old) statements were quoted, in which he said: 'You can't just ignore that. Of course, I'm angry and sad about not being called up.'
