Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Neymar has hailed Brazil head coach Fernando Diniz as one of the best managers in world football ahead of the team\u2019s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Uruguay.<\/p>\n

Diniz was appointed Brazil\u2019s national team boss in July and has already made a positive impact, having led the five-time world champions to victories in their first two qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiniz is a great coach, one of the best we have in world football, in my opinion,\u201d Neymar told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe freedom he gives us, not only to me, but to all the players, and the trust that he instills is the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diniz, who is feted in Brazil for his attacking brand of football, is concurrently managing Fluminense and has guided the Rio de Janeiro club to the final of this year\u2019s Copa Libertadores, South America\u2019s top club competition.<\/p>\n

Neymar, who joined Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in August, said he expects a difficult encounter against a Venezuela team that already has three points and sits fifth in the 10-team South American qualifying group.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s clash will mark Brazil\u2019s first game at Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba, a stadium built for the 2014 Fifa World Cup. The city in central-western Brazil is regarded as one of the hottest places in South America with temperatures often surpassing 40 degrees Celsius at this time of year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a tough game,\u201d Neymar said. \u201cI confess that it is quite warm, but in a way I am used to it because in Saudi Arabia it is also very hot. Everyone suffers in the heat but the game is going to be at night so hopefully, it won\u2019t be so intense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the match against Venezuela, Brazil will travel to Montevideo for a clash against Uruguay at Estadio Centenario next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
