Copa America 2024 has already started but there are some big names missing from this tournament. One of the famous players missing from the tournament is Arsenal attacking midfielder, Willian<\/span>. Willian was an omission from Brazil squad for Copa America 2024. Fans want to know the reason as to why Willian is not included in Brazil squad for Copa America 2024 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After witnessing a season to forget with Premier League club Arsenal, Brazilian star Willian\u00a0<\/b>has not been picked by coach in<\/b> Brazil\u2019s squad for Copa America 2024. He last played for Brazil in November 2019. The reason behind his exclusion is as follows:<\/p>\n

Brazilian winger Willian<\/strong> had a disappointing maiden campaign at Arsenal<\/strong> in the Premier League last season. He is a famous player but his exclusion from Brazil Copa America 2021 Squad is not a surprise at all. Tite<\/strong> already has options like Richarlison, Everton, Jesus, Firmino. There was no chance that the coach was going to choose a player who is out of form and struggling.<\/p>\n

\"Why
Why Willian is not included in Brazil squad for Copa America 2024 ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 32-year-old moved to the Emirates from\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0<\/strong>in the summer of 2020 on a free transfer but made little impact over the season and fell down the pecking order behind the likes of\u00a0Emile Smith<\/strong> Rowe\u00a0and\u00a0Martin Odegaard<\/strong>.\u00a0His Arsenal career started well, claiming a hat-trick of assists on his debut against Fulham last September, but he has since failed to pull up any trees. In 37 appearances this term he has scored just one goal and claimed eight assists.<\/p>\n

Having missed out on a call-up for his country\u2019s Copa America campaign \u2013 the tournament is being hosted by Brazil this summer \u2013 the 32-year-old, who has 70 caps to his name, is determined to win over head coach Tite<\/strong>. Willian<\/strong> is in the hope that an upturn in form next season might seal him a place in the Brazil squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to return to the Brazilian team and play the next World Cup. I know that the moment is not appropriate for my return because of the difficult season I had, but I want to get back to playing well and regularly and being productive with goals and assists, as I was at Chelsea, so I can represent Brazil.”<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cEach coach has his own way of working and each club has a philosophy of play. I was used to a more physical, intense training system. At Arsenal, with Arteta, we work much more on the tactical issue, aiming and opponent. I must respect this and I must adapt to this new model.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a good start and I never had many injuries, I always played regularly, but I was out on three occasions this year. That\u2019s why I couldn\u2019t be Willian of Chelsea. I hope to return to my high level and a bad season does not define my qualities and my potential. I still want to win titles.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Why
Why Willian is not included in Brazil squad for Copa America 2021 ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Coach Tite<\/strong> has called winger Willian<\/strong> into Brazil\u2019s Copa Am\u00e9rica 2019 squad as a replacement for captain Neymar<\/strong>. Neymar injured his ankle in a 2-0 friendly win over Qatar.<\/p>\n

He also represented his country in two World Cups, in 2014 on home soil and at Russia 2018, and with Neymar’s withdrawal he was the third most experienced player in Tite’s squad, behind captain Dani Alves (107 caps) and Thiago Silva (78).<\/p>\n

The lack of playing time and his declining form are the answers to the question Why Willian is not included in Brazil squad for Copa America 2021.<\/p>\n
