Fans' voices calling for Neymar (34), the "Brazilian soccer hero," rang out in the stadium. However, Carlo Ancelotti (67), head coach of the Brazilian national team, was adamant.

Brazil, led by coach Ancelotti, lost 1-2 to France in an A-match warm-up match at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on the 27th (Korea time).

Brazil struggled with France's offensive from the first half of the day. In the end, he dedicated the first goal to Kylian Mbappe, who penetrated the defense's loopholes in the 32nd minute of the first half.

Brazil, which entered the second half with a 0-1 deficit, seemed to have a chance to turn around. Wesley, who broke through the side in the 10th minute of the second half, is the opponent's defender It induced Upamecano's foul, and was given a red card after VAR.

However, Brazil was also hit by a numerical advantage. In the 20th minute of the second half, he was caught off guard by Ekitike's counterattack and allowed his second goal.

In a hurry, Brazil launched an offensive. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Gleisson Bremer showed his concentration and scored a comeback goal to chase him. However, they were defeated after failing to open France's goal for the rest of the year.

What drew more attention than the result of the game was the reaction of the stands. During the game, chants of "Ole, Ole, Neymar!" erupted from the stands. Fans' voices for Neymar's return, who were not listed on the call-up list, filled the stadium.

Ancelotti's response, however, was cold. Asked about Neymar's slogan at a press conference following the match, he first covered the players who are currently committed to the team.

Coach Ancelotti drew the line, saying, "Now we have to talk about the players who came here, played, did their best, and fought hard." "I'm satisfied (with the players who played today). Now, we will proceed with preparations for the next match against Croatia," he added.

With the 2026 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup approaching, soccer fans around the world are paying attention to whether Ancelotti will ever call Neymar back to the Brazilian national team.

Meanwhile, Ancelotti filled Neymar's vacancy on the list with new offensive resources. One of them is 24-year-old striker Thiago from Brentford. He has scored 22 goals in 32 official games this season. He scored 18 goals in the English Premier League, ranking second in the league's scoring category after Elling Holan (Manchester City).

In addition, Ancelotti selected 19-year-old striker Endrique, whom he had not called in for more than a year. After being coached by Ancelotti at Real Madrid, he is currently on loan to Olympique Lyon and has scored six goals in 12 games.
