Mário Gomes, the team coach, decided to take Neemias out of the Celtics during the game against Spain, choosing to preserve the player's health.
The decision not to take any risks was related to the physical limitations Neemias had at the time of the game.
The Celtics center was thus removed from the competition to avoid worsening his physical condition.
This management of the player comes within the context of a cautious approach by the national team, aiming to protect the player for upcoming matches.
