Ancelotti Snubs Neymar, Rodrygo from First Brazil Squad

The new coach of Brazil's soccer team, Carlo Ancelotti, picked his first team for the upcoming games.

He decided not to include star players Neymar and Rodrygo because they are still getting back to their best shape.

Ancelotti wants to choose players who are playing well right now.

Neymar is still important for Brazil's future, even though he's not playing yet.

Some experienced players, like Casemiro and Richarlison, are back in the team.

Ancelotti wants to combine these experienced players with new, younger players to create a strong team.
