Chelsea's Ramires disappointed with Brazil snub

Chelsea midfielder Ramires admits he is disappointed at being overlooked by Brazil for over a year now. However, the 25-year-old insists he will keep battling to get back into the national fold.

"I never wanted to be out of the national team," he told Lancenet.

"But I have not been called for a year, so will keep working on the pitch rather than talking outside.

"I want to show that I deserve a return to the national team, and when Mano [Menezes, coach] thinks I deserve it then I am sure I will be back."
