Ancelotti shows satisfaction for selection performance: “A list of 26 names is very difficult”


Brazil beat Chile 3-0 in a game of the penultimate round of the Qualifications of the World Cup 2026

The 3-0 victory over Chile, this Thursday, in MaracanĂ£, left the coach Carlo Ancelotti enthusiastic about the future of Brazilian. The coach congratulated the team only at the press conference after the match in Rio de Janeiro, valid for the 17th and penultimate round of South American qualifications for the World Cup next year.

“We played football with intensity, with a good pace and a good rescue, with a good pressure. I think the fan is, like us, very happy for team play. I am very satisfied with today’s game. A list of 26 names is very difficult,” said the coach, who shows evolution in his Portuguese.

Ancelotti commented on the performance of Luiz Henrique, one of the salient points of the team. “Luiz Henrique has an extraordinary talent. He is very physically strong, fantastic in one game against one. He changed the game with his freshness, he was physically fresh. A player with this talent, when he is fresh and the other tired, changes the game. It is very good for the national team to have this type of player.”

The Italian coach confirmed that he will use the game with Bolivia Tuesday to test more players looking for the ideal group for the World Cup and further organize the defensive sector. “I think we have to prepare a base. There are three games that we can see the base, a compact team that defends well. In all three games, we defend well. Then there is an individual quality of the players, who change and make the difference. We must follow in this line, because I am convinced that we are not enough, as we have done, we have many opportunities to win the games.”
