Carlo Ancelotti announced his first list at the head of Brazil
Casemiro and Richarlison were recalled
Neymar still in the race despite the injuries
Many players selected by Carlo Ancelotti for his first list at the head of Brazil are known. The Italian technician will have a lot to do with the qualifiers in the Conmebol zone for the FIFA World Cup 26 ™ then, perhaps, the final phase next year.
Here are the points to remember from his first press conference, held in Rio de Janeiro.
A flexible strategy
Ancelotti has known almost everything in 30 years at the highest level. When asked if he prefers to lead a proactive or reactive team, he says he is in the middle.
“After all these years, I still do not know the strategy or the system that saves every time,” slipped the coach freshly named. “What I know is that the device depends on the qualities of the players. They must be comfortable on the ground. I want to make the most of the qualities of this country to win the World Cup. »»
“The debate remains interesting, because we cannot play in one way. Sometimes you have to be proactive, sometimes you have to be reactive. Difficult to doubt a coach who won five titles in the UEFA Champions League, a record.
“To win, you have to know how to do a lot. When I am told that my teams do not have its own identity, I answer that it is voluntary, because having a strong identity is risking easily to be counter by the opponent. »»
The return of executives
Casemiro, middle of Manchester United, and Richarlison, Tottenham striker, were recalled. Carlo Ancelotti, who trained them in the past, said he trusted them.
“I knew Richarlison in Everton, but that’s not just why I called him. I know how Richarlison and Casemiro train. Knowing the players on a personal level can push them to sublimate themselves more than a strictly professional report. »»
Casemiro could be a key player in the Ancelotti system. “He’s a great player. The Seleção needs her charisma, her personality and her talent. »»
Neymar always in the plans
His list has an absent brand: Neymar, who recalls an injury and who returned to the field with Santos this month. However, Ancelotti does not close the door to him.
“I have selected players physically fit. He just replayed. We all know that he is a very important player. He returned to Brazil to prepare the World Cup. I spoke to him this morning to explain it all. »»
Support from local players
Ancelotti will exercise outside the European borders for the first time. The question then arises: how will he manage the players who play in the Brazilian championship? In view of his list, we understand that he has followed certain teams, especially those who will play the FIFA 2025 ™ FIFA Club World Cup.
“Brazil is a land of talent. We will follow these teams. I will spend more time in Brazil to familiarize myself with the mode of operation of Brazilian football. Of the 25 players called by Ancelotti, seven play Brazil.
First and nuggets
Two players will know their first selection: Alexsandro Ribeiro (Losc Lille) and Hugo Souza (Corinthians). During his press conference, the coach kept the door open to the new ones: “To be selectable, just have a Brazilian passport. »»
Young people like the Chelsea FC’s Chelsea FC will join the Chelsea FC, which he led to Real Madrid C. F. and who is currently injured, should therefore come back.
