Is Carlo Ancelotti still the right man for the Brazilian selection? Certainly not if we are to believe a legend of Auriverde football.

On Saturday, Brazil lost in a friendly match against Japan (3-2), despite a double from Vinícius Júnior. The “Samouraïs Bleus” scored the winning goal in added time.

At the end of the meeting, strong tensions broke out. The Seleçao coach, Carlo Ancelotti, as well as his captain Raphinha, were expelled for protest. In the moments following this defeat, criticism aimed at the Italian technician began to rain down.

Romário simply demanded his dismissal.
“Ancelotti, it’s over!” Grab your things and go! No one questions your record. You are one of the greatest managers world football has ever known, but you have proven it at club level. With the Brazilian national team, so far you have not been up to par. We can’t take it anymore! »protested the former attacker, in comments reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Carlo Ancelotti destroyed by Romário

At the last World Cup, Brazil failed to advance beyond the round of 16. Despite the elimination by Norway, the former Real Madrid coach was kept in his post.

Romário does not take offense: “He did not understand the dynamics of a national team and, above all, he did not understand what Brazilian football and the green and gold jersey represent. It’s high time that changed. Bye ! “. Next Tuesday, the Auriverde selection will play a new friendly match, against Singapore.
