We may not see Vinicius Junior (24, Real Madrid) at the World Cup.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (79) has insisted that the roster for the country’s national soccer team should only consist of players who play in the domestic league, according to the UK’s Mirror.

This would mean that expatriates like Vinicius, Hodrigo, and Endrick (Real Madrid), who play in Europe, would be excluded from the Brazilian national team. They may have to return to Brazil to play in the World Cup.

According to the article, President Lula recently appeared on a radio program and sharply criticized Brazilian players playing abroad, saying that they are “not at the level of Garrincha or Homariu” and that they are “not stars yet, they are young players.”

“It’s not that the players abroad are better than the ones here,” Lula said, adding that ”Brazil has good players of the same level (as those abroad). 메이저사이트 Give the players here a chance,” Lula emphasized.

This is likely due to Brazil’s recent A-match results.

Brazil shocked Paraguay on March 11 with a 0-1 loss in a South American qualifier for the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026.

Brazil is in fourth place behind Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay. They won 2-1 against Chile on Nov. 11, thanks in large part to homegrown players like Igor Jezus and Luis Enrique (and Botafogo).

Brazil, led by Dorival Junior, hasn’t been the same since July, when they were knocked out of the Copa America quarterfinals by Uruguay on penalties.

Only seven of the 23 players in his squad are from Brazilian clubs. If Lula has his way, Europeans such as Zafinha (Barcelona), Éder Militant (Real Madrid), Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), and Alisson Becker (Liverpool) may have to return to Brazil for the World Cup.
