Neymar gives Brazil the best news ahead of Copa America, the surprise that Ney has prepared

While Copa America is days away, the Brazilian national team has been under a lot of pressure lately because of Ronaldinho's comments and the performances in the last two friendlies against Mexico and the USA. Brazil are still one of the strongest teams in Copa America, and they will be competing for the trophy to challenge the Argentina national team. The star players in Brazil will be Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo this summer, but the main player who will miss the tournament is Neymar Jr. The Al Hilal player suffered a big blow last October as he had an ACL injury that kept him out for the rest of the season in Saudi Arabia and is keeping him for Copa America. Despite this, the star has a surprise for the Brazilian national team. According to Sports Center Brazil, Neymar will be with the national team for the first two Copa América games in the United States. He won't be able to play to train with them, of course, but he will be there for moral support.

The Argentina player who admits that Neymar was a problem for them

Neymar won't be playing in Copa America this summer, and while neutral fans are disappointed, some Argentina fans are relieved to hear the news. An Argentina player recently spoke about how difficult it was to play against Neymar in the last Copa America in 2021. Rodrigo de Paul spoke to Telemundo Deportes, and he said, "Neymar in the Copa América final was the toughest opponent I faced. He's an animal, I told him a couple of things. In the second half, during a play, I said to him: 'Honestly, man, you're a phenomenon. It's not just how you play, no one can throw you off your game.' Then we hugged. Ney in that final was spectacular." Argentina went on to win the game 1-0 against Brazil at the Maracana.
