Battle over Neymar Jr.

For its national football association Copa America is (also) an important tournament, but the coach fancies him to see at the Olympics.
Last week Barcelona told the final decision concerning Neymar Jr - that he will play at this summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. But CBF (Brazil FA) tends to fight over the player and wants him to play in both important tournaments this year - Copa America which starts in June and the Olympic Games who will commence in August. The Brazilian striker has said that he likes to play in both competitions but it seems he cannot change Josep Bartomeu's mind who said that the decision has been made. Beginning from 1916 Brazil have won eight times its national championship unlike the Olympic Games who still awaits on their first gold medal. That is why Dunga wants Neymar Jr. so badly to play in the Olympics and (possibly) bring Brazil its gold medal before their jubilant fans in Rio de Janeiro.
As the Olympics are not entered as an official FIFA tournament, the clubs have no obligation to release its players. But less than two months to go for the South American competition, we will see if CBF would reverse Barcelona's decision.
