Propelled to the Brazil bench after a last trying term in Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti will officially make his big debut on the night of Thursday to Friday, with a movement in Ecuador as part of the Qualifying Campaign for the 2026 World Cup. The pressure is enormous on the shoulders of the Italian technician, which arrives after two particularly chaotic years. Ancelotti will have the mission to restore the Seleçao coat of arms, in addition to ensuring a qualification for the US World Cup.
Without Neymar, but with Vinicius and Raphinha, the Auriverde hopes to do a good operation, but their status as historical favorite is not obvious at the time T since they will approach this match in the position of a fourth of the single pool of this AMSUD zone, while Ecuador points to second place in the ranking behind Argentina. The Ecuadorian training will also be based on an important framework in the person of PSG defender Willian Pacho, crowned European champion and revelation of the season.
The expected compos
Ecuador: Galindez; Ordonez, Pacho, Hincapie; Estupinan, quickly, Caicedo, Franco; Plata, Valencia, Silva.
Brazil: Alisson; Vanderson, Marquinhos, Wesley, Sandro; Ederson, Casemiro, Gerson; Vinicius Jr, Cunha, Raphinha.
