The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about the squad selection process for the 2026 World Cup.
"Of course, memory matters. I know Rodrigo very well and I am confident that he can help the team. We are reviewing around 70 players — physically, technically, and tactically — to assemble the most competitive squad for the World Cup. There are no favorites; in the end, who goes to the World Cup will be decided on the football field," Ancelotti is quoted by Estadio Deportivo.
