Bournemouth forward Ryan continues to receive positive feedback within the Brazil national team, even though an immediate call-up may still be a while away.
The attacker, who left Vasco da Gama to join AFC Bournemouth, was discussed this week espn. Journalist Pedro Ivo revealed that people working with the Brazil national football team highly value the young player.
According to him, Ryan is already seen internally as a player for Brazil's future plans.
"Do you know who the coaching staff respects the most? Ryan," Pedro Ivo told during the program. "The national team really likes him," He said.
However, the journalist also warned that call-ups should not be taken lightly in the immediate future.
"This does not mean that he will appear in the March team or even in the World Cup team, because he is still very young and does not have much experience yet."
Competing in Brazil Attack
One of the biggest obstacles for Ryan is the depth of attacking talent Brazil currently has.
Pedro Evo explained that the coaching staff already has several options capable of working in the same areas of the pitch. Ryan is primarily seen as a wide attacker rather than a central striker, which puts him in competition with many established and emerging names.
Players like Estevao Willian and Luiz Henrique are among those competing for those roles. Meanwhile, versatile attackers like Raphinha can also occupy similar positions in the national team structure.
Because of that depth, it appears the coaching staff is taking a long-term approach to moving Bournemouth forward.
As Brazilian pundits recently suggestedHe has to stay calm and wait for his chance - but that chance will definitely come.
Future plans for Ryan
Despite stiff competition, the internal outlook regarding the Brazil setup remains very positive. Plan to bring him to Seleção was in motion a long time ago He joined Bournemouth.
Pedro Ivo suggested that when the staff discussed future cycles of the national team, Ryan's name regularly appeared among the first mentioned possibilities.
"When they talk internally about the future, what's next, Ryan is at the top of the list."
For Bournemouth, this is another sign of the long-term potential associated with the young forward. Even if an immediate call-up is not guaranteed, the recognition from the Brazilian coaching staff already puts him on an interesting trajectory.
If his development in the Premier League continues in the right direction, a path to becoming a senior Brazilian player could soon open up.
