Presence at auction could take Neymar out of Santos' decision in the Copa do Brasil

The event is scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time) this Monday (3), in São Paulo, and the number 10, as he did in the five previous editions, must participate in person.

If the presence is confirmed, Neymar will not travel with the delegation.

According to Santos' schedule, the squad leaves for Belém at 3 pm on Monday and arrives in the capital of Pará in the early evening, precisely at the time when the striker's event will begin.

Behind the scenes at Vila Belmiro, the feeling is that Neymar will not travel on the flight with the delegation.

There is a possibility that the striker will join the group after the event, landing in Belém in the early hours or on the morning of the day of the game in his private jet.

In a press conference after the 0-0 draw with Remo, in Vila Belmiro, coach Cuca avoided going deeper into the matter.

"The auction is something of his, every year, it's charitable, people come from all over the world. I leave it to the board to resolve. What I need to do is reassess the re-presentation. It's been 74 days since he played a full match, we have to see how much wear and tear he's had and then we can resolve it internally," said Cuca.

Asked, then, if he will list the number 10 for the trip, the coach once again closed the game.

"I'm not going to answer what you want. He does the regenerative, everyone goes through the recovery, takes the blood, puts it in the device and shows the degree of fatigue, whether the level of risk of injury is low or high. Today, we already lost a player with a muscle injury, probably (Lucas Veríssimo). Tomorrow we will have the reevaluation. Then we will make the decision."

TRIO DOESN'T PACK

On the field, the number 10 continues without delivering the expected performance alongside Gabigol and Rollheiser, but Cuca remains convinced that the trio can work.

Depending on the game, they can play together, yes, in attacking field games. I know that numbers without results don't matter, but we had control of the game, they positioned themselves in the right way. The Cuca goal was missing

The match against Remo marked the 11th game in which Gabigol and Neymar started together as starters this season.

Santos' numbers with the duo since the opening whistle remain modest: just one win, seven draws and three defeats (30.3% success rate).
