00:00Neymar trained on the field for the first time since the national team arrived in the United States.
00:05this Tuesday, June 16th.
00:08The player went onto the field at the New York Red Bulls training center.
00:12in this activity that was closed to the press today.
00:16He trained in sneakers, went for some runs, isn't that right, Dousan?
00:18Yes, the CBF released a video of about 1 minute and 40 seconds.
00:21which shows Neymar first talking to the physical trainer there on the sidelines
00:26In sneakers, just in sneakers, he did some jogging here, did some sprints.
00:31But then he put on his cleats, grabbed the tri-wave.
00:34We've all been waiting so long to see him playing here in the World Cup.
00:37He did some keepy-uppies, even tried a shot.
00:40He risked a shot, well, it was kind of a miss on the ball.
00:43But he took a run, caught the ball, touched the ball.
00:46It is precisely the transition phase he is going through.
00:50He spent a lot of time in physiotherapy, simultaneously with physical conditioning.
00:55under the supervision of the CBF's physical conditioning coordinator, Cristiano Nunes
01:00Now he's moving on to the next stage, the transition, he's going to the field.
01:03Putting on cleats, running, changing direction
01:06probably in these training sessions he's been doing
01:10so that we can then proceed with that training with the group.
01:13and then be in playing condition
01:15for Friday's match against Haiti in Philadelphia
01:19We believe that Neymar is not yet in a condition to be on the field.
01:24Maybe he'll be included in the squad, he'll stay on the bench like he did in the other game.
01:28but with that asterisk there for the injury
01:31as it appeared in the lineup released by FIFA
01:33That's possible, we'll have more information later.
01:37But what we saw today was really cool, encouraging.
01:40For the Brazilian fans who want Neymar on their team...
01:43a significant boost
01:45I think he's on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal.
01:48On the same level as Lionel Messi for Argentina.
01:51Neymar overshadows Brazil and enhances the potential of other players on our national team.
01:56It's simply a matter of accuracy.
01:59Neymar trained on the field but separately from the other players.
02:02The images are very clear; we can't see any other players from the national team on the field.
02:06First, there's a race next to the field.
02:09Then there's some activity with a ball.
02:11but alone, without any other player
02:14Just a reminder that tomorrow, June 17th,
02:16It has been a full month since Neymar suffered a grade 2 injury to his right calf.
02:22in that game between Santos and Coritiba at Neo Química Arena
02:26So it's going to be a month, a day that's one month away from completing this injury.
02:31He returns to the field.
02:32There are only two more training sessions with the ball before Friday's game.
02:35Therefore, Neymar's participation in Friday's game is practically ruled out.
02:41Yes, he could one of these matches be linked to him.
02:46It's also possible you might end up staying here in Moristar.
02:50We are just over two hours away from Philadelphia.
02:53But the team travels to Philadelphia the day before the game.
02:58Remembering that in that friendly match against Egypt
03:01one week before the start of the World Cup
03:03Neymar didn't travel precisely so he could focus on muscle strengthening.
03:08physical preparation, in short, physiotherapy work to improve
03:11Who knows, maybe he won't travel, maybe he'll stay here in Moristar.
03:15improving precisely that part.
03:17Then, next week, we can begin actual training with the players.
03:22Or maybe he's going precisely because he's an attraction.
03:24and is also an inspiration for the national team players.
03:27In the last game he was there giving instructions, encouraging the players.
03:30While chatting, it remained there in Ancelotti's ear.
03:32Dousan said that he went onto the field alone, without the players.
03:36But there was a whole battalion of people from the technical committee.
03:39in the images that we saw
03:40I had a physical trainer, physiotherapist, and doctor.
03:43I think the masseur was
03:45So there was a group of people there watching Neymar's training session.
03:49him hitting the ball
03:50I think any move he makes should generate expectation.
03:53not only in him, but also in those who have been doing this work.
03:56because it's very rewarding to be able to rehabilitate a player.
03:59given Neymar's level and the injury that was
04:01for the World Cup competition
04:03And just to finish, remembering that Neymar
04:05Everything indicates that he has indeed recovered from the injury.
04:08in the calf, but there's a whole retraining process involved.
04:12Muscle balance, a month without playing
04:15a high-performance player
04:17you need to have this type of work
04:19This is because it is very common in cases of muscle injuries.
04:22the first three or four weeks of returning
04:24It's a somewhat critical period right now.
04:26because the player could experience another injury.
04:29not on the calf
04:30It's not forcing another direction, another location, in short.
04:34And that's precisely why the national team has been doing this work.
04:37with so much caution regarding Neymar's recovery.
04:39And that's what we've been talking about.
04:41I have a player like Neymar here.
04:43Why would I rush his recovery to the first phase?
04:46Brazil managed a draw against Morocco.
04:48They have a game against Haiti, theoretically an easier game.
04:51and then they face Scotland
04:53Brazil will most likely not qualify.
04:55And then I'd have Neymar ready.
04:57Not 100%, but with a good capacity.
05:01to start the knockout stage and try to get things going.
05:03so we can go really far in the Cup.
05:05Remember that in this World Cup
05:07They classify the first two directly.
05:09but there are eight spots for third-place finishers
05:12a victory, a possible victory with Haiti
05:15Brazil's qualification is practically guaranteed.
05:17Not in the first instance, that will depend, of course.
05:19from the other games and especially from the last match
05:22with Scotland
05:23But anyway, Neymar as we've seen him
05:25It is being prepared specifically for the knockout stage.
05:29So that was the good news for today.
05:30Neymar has finally returned to training with the ball.
05:33It was a slight change, but he's back to training with the ball here at Norestad.
05:36That's it, see you next time everyone, thanks!
