The Brazilian national team has lost Neymar for the remaining group stage of the World Cup.

His absence is truly painful for Tite's players, but in the first matches, the Brazilians managed to achieve a 2-0 victory against Serbia and take an important step towards the knockout stage.

The team's defensive midfielder Casemiro also spoke about Neymar's absence.

"He is one of the best players in the world and, unfortunately, he will not help us in the upcoming matches.

"We have good players, but compared to Neymar, it is hard to find a player who is at his level.

"We have other players who play well: Vinicius, Raphinha, Richarlison, Jesus, Rodrygo, Martinelli... the choice is wide, which is good for us, but we have to be realistic and understand that Neymar is the best player in our team," said Casemiro.
