RIO DE JANEIRO Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jersey , March 14 (Xinhua) -- Barcelona forward Neymar has expressed his wish to represent Brazil at the Rio Olympics in August, national team coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi said on Monday.

It is understood the Catalan giants are loath to release the 23-year-old for the quadrennial tournament, which will come less than six weeks after the centenary edition of the Copa America in the United States.

"Neymar wants to play," Rinaldi was quoted as saying by the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper.

"We have said that we want to work with the clubs to talk about how the players are physically and technically. We still haven't made any requests to the clubs."

Under Olympic rules Wholesale Florida Panthers Jersey , competing teams may include up to three players over the age of 23 in their squads.

It is understood Brazil hopes to select Neymar, Willian (Chelsea) and Miranda (Inter Milan).

The Olympic football tournament will be played from August 4 to 20.

Meanwhile, Rinaldi refused to comment on the omission of Real Madrid defender Marcelo for Brazil's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay.

Brazil coach Dunga earlier this month said he had left out Marcelo after discussing the 27-year-old's fitness with Real Madrid staff.

The statement raised eyebrows when the left-back played 90 minutes in Real Madrid's Champions League victory over Roma last week.

The Spanish club's manager Zinedine Zidane added fuel to the controversy when he told reporters on Saturday that he was not consulted about Marcelo's fitness, adding that Dunga's comments were "a lie".

"I'm not going to talk about Zidane Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jersey ," Rinaldi said. "We are thinking about the Olympics, which is something else. We consider everything when we select the team."

ZAGREB, April 19 (Xinhua)-- Croatian head coach Niko Kovac on Sunday wished Luka Modric a speedy recovery from a serious injury on Saturday in Spanish La Liga match against Malaga.

"I spoke with Luka and wished him a speedy recovery. I know it's not easy for him as he was again playing at his best and we could see how important he is for Real Madrid," Kovac said in the statement released on the website of the Croatian Football Federation.

"We all know how important Luka is for our team. I don't doubt that he will do everything to recover well. I still hope that he will be ready for the match against Italy but we will not force him. His health is the most important Wholesale Minnesota Wild Jersey ," Kovac added.

Modric went to the ground on Saturday in the 57th minute of Liga match against Malaga and his face expression showed he was in pain. At that moment his season has virtually ended.

Modric, 29, suffered another serious injury spraining his right knee medial collateral ligament. Tests carried out on Sunday morning at the Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja by the Real Madrid medical services confirmed the worst fears - Modric will be out of action around six weeks.

For Real Madrid that means they will have to chase Barcelona in the Spanish league title race without the help of the best defensive midfielder in the league. They can only hope for his return in the UEFA Champions League final on June 6 in Berlin. But, there is still long road to that match waiting the title holders.

First Wholesale Montreal Canadiens Jersey , they have to overtake local rivals Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals after a 0-0 draw at Vicente Calderon Stadium in the first leg. If they are successful, then they will still have to beat one of the top European clubs in two semifinal clashes.

Modric have only 16 La Liga appearances this season and 25 overall for "Los Blancos" as he spent four months healing his left hamstring muscle he injured during the international duty for Croatia in November 2014.

He returned to action in March 2015. New injury puts Modric in doubt for Croatia qualifiers in June when Niko Kovac troops will take on Italy in Split in the match that Croatia will have to play behind closed doors beacuse of the UEFA ban for fans behavior during the match against Norway in Zagreb on March 28.

If you are feeling bored, listless, and out of shape Wholesale Nashville Predators Jersey , you need a new past time. Sports activities will get your blood pumping and help you get back into shape. Not only will you be getting good exercise but you will be starting a valuable family past time. Sports activities are a great way to spend time with your kids. So get up off the couch, put down that soda, and get out in the yard for a little touch football.

If touch football is not for you, why not play a little kickball with your kids. Set up a diamond similar to a baseball diamond. Now the pitcher rolls a large soft ball Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jersey , like a playground ball, on the ground to the "batter." Only in kickball, the batter kicks the ball and runs to first base. Since the ball is soft, the fielding team can throw the ball at the runner to get him out. Since the kicker will almost always manage to kick the ball and foul balls are rare Wholesale New York Islanders Jersey , this is a classic game to play with young kids and others who are not very athletic.

A fun family game that makes a good past time sports activity is tetherball. This rousing game can be played with one or two people. Tetherball is called that because the ball is on a tether - it is on a rope tied at the top of a pole. The ball hangs about hand level. The object is to hit the ball and make the rope wrap around the pole. The two players attempt to make the ball go different directions. If you have never played tetherball, you should give it a try. It is really fun! And it really gets you moving (and laughing!)

Sand volleyball may have started on the beaches, but many towns are now installing sand volleyball courts in their public parks. The littler kids can sit in a safe place and play with their sand toys while Mom, Dad Wholesale New York Rangers Jersey , and the older kids hit a beach ball or volleyball back and forth over a net. The sand feels good on bare feet (but not so good inside you. MLB Jerseys Cheap   NFL Jerseys Wholesale   Authentic Soccer Jerseys Wholesale   Custom NHL Jerseys From China   Cheap Red Sox Jerseys   Cheap Reds Jerseys   Wholesale Orioles Jerseys   Wholesale Marlins Jerseys   Wholesale Dodgers Jerseys   Wholesale Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys
