Called to be Neymar's replacement, the petition from Brazil's fans regarding Estevão Willian

Brazil fans really hope that the national team improves in these next two years ahead of the next World Cup because the 2024 Copa America disappointed them. Brazil was eliminated from the Copa America last week in the quarterfinals by Uruguay on penalties. The Brazilian fans want Neymar Jr. to fully recover so he can play with the national team again and guide them to the 2026 World Cup. The Brazilian star is set to return to the pitch in September, but the fans also want to see Estevão Willian be given a chance to play in the national team. The 17-year-old winger from Palmeiras is amazing fans in Brazil with his performances in the league, and some think he is ready to earn a call-up for the national team. Diario AS reports that the technical staff is considering calling up Estevão in September. They believe they have not seen a talent like this in a very long time. The Brazilian youngster may be the only change in the squad because the head coach, Dorival Junior, wants no changes in the squad for the World Cup Qualifiers.

Dorival Junior spoke about Estevão Willian and gave his thoughts about the talented teenager. Dorival Junior said, "Estevão Willian? He is being followed & monitored always like all the Brazilian athletes. What I see is let’s wait for the moment, with everything he is doing, he is a new option that is surging. This is excellent. We always want to have an extra player for the process that can improve us. I have no doubt that in two years we will be very strong.”

UOL Esporte reports that Dorival will also count on Neymar to join the national team as the national team will be playing crucial World Cup qualifying matches later this year. Brazil is 6th in the table of the World Cup qualifiers.

Dorival Junior on Neymar

The head coach of Brazil talked about Neymar's injury and said, "Neymar is being followed very well, he is in a very clear development process, and he himself told me that. Neymar is doing everything to join us as soon as possible. His injury was very sensitive, it was not as simple as they think. He should be as careful as possible, and in my opinion, he should not rush to return."
