The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, assessed his team’s chances of winning the 2026 World Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti, Getty Images«We have a great team. There are experienced leaders and very talented young players. Expectations for us to win the World Cup are high, and we will do everything to achieve this. Brazil has been without trophies for too long, and fans rightly want the sixth gold.
People see that the team is growing, and progress will continue until the start of the tournament. It may seem that for Brazilians, playing beautiful football is the main thing. That’s not true. They want the national team to win the World Cup. In 1994 and 2002, the team had top-tier forwards, but victories came thanks to strong defense. I think it will be the same in the next World Cup,» the Italian coach was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
