CBF are analysing more than three players above the age of 23 for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year.
According to the team coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi, who returned from Europe on Monday, there is still time to set the release of players for the competition. The priorities of Dunga for the Olympics are Neymar, João Miranda and goalkeeper Álisson. But in addition to Barcelona and Milan, the coach was also in Madrid and London. Gilmar said: “Neymar is very happy for the desire, and showed no preference for any competition. He just wants to be with us. We’ll analyse it with ease, to do the best for everyone.”
Gilmar also stressed there is still no pressure for the presence of Neymar in the Copa América Centenário in the United States. He then denied that Inter Milan have refused to release Miranda for the Olympics. He confirmed that the defender, a starter at the club, is one of the names being considered for the tournament in Rio. In the trip to Barcelona, Gilmar also discussed the release of Rafinha Alcântara for Brazil Olympic team’s friendlies later this month against South Africa and Nigeria. The player is recovering from knee injury, but will be available to Rogério Micale.
