These are statements that are unlikely to go unnoticed. Brazil coach for almost four months, Carlo Ancelotti seems to be getting comfortable in a role he is playing for the first time. Present at a press conference on the sidelines of the friendly match against South Korea (Friday at 1 p.m.), the former Real Madrid coach had no shortage of ambitions for his new team. On the contrary, he aims for the heights.
Ancelotti wants the 2026 World Cup
“Each of us thinks about the goal, which is very clear: we have to win the World Cup, not be the best players in the world. I want players who think they want to be in the World Cup to win, not to be the best,” he declared. It's hard not to take him seriously, as the Italian tactician has won so many trophies (31!).
For this, Carlo Ancelotti has a plan. “ I think we need to work more on the tactical level to refine the game strategy. All this can be very important, but the most important thing is not the strategy, it is the attitude of the players on the pitch. For this, it doesn't take much time to prepare. »
