Ancelotti on Neymar omission: "Saved for extra time"

Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed that the reason Neymar was not brought on during Brazil's 2-1 victory over Japan in the Round of 16 of the World Cup was that his plans were to have him join the game in extra time. However, Gabriel Martinelli's goal in the 95th minute decided the match earlier. Ancelotti had a conversation with Neymar, informing him that he might come on around the 60th or 65th minute if the game continued. But the change in the scoreline prevented that. Brazil won with two goals to one, with Casemiro equalizing in the second half and Martinelli scoring the decisive goal at the last moment, advancing to the Round of 16 to face either Norway or Ivory Coast.
