Ancelotti reveals why two Flamengo players missed out on Brazil squad | OneFootball

Only Alex Sandro received a call-up from Ancelotti for the Brazilian National Team

Carlo Ancelotti announced the players called up for the next matches of the Brazilian National Team. Despite having placed five Flamengo athletes on the preliminary list, the coach called only one: Alex Sandro. Therefore, the commander explained the reason for calling only the left-back.

— The list changed a little with the last call-up. There are nine players who are not here now, like Carlos Augusto, Beraldo, Léo Ortiz, Danilo, Andreas Pereira, Gerson, Ederson, Antony and Vinícius. They are not because the idea I have is to get to know new players -, he said, before finishing:

— About the personal and professional profile. About the technical profile, I know all the players, but I want to get to know others who can help the National Team do things well. These players who are not here worked very well in the first call-up and I want to thank them for that -, he said.

In addition to Alex Sandro, Ancelotti placed Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Samuel Lino on the preliminary list of called-up players for the Brazilian National Team. However, the commander preferred to call only the left-back for the next Brazil games.
