Ancelotti at Flamengo v Athletico-PR before Brazil World Cup call-up | OneFootball

Which Flamengo players are on Ancelotti’s radar for the World Cup?

Ancelotti will announce the list of Brazil national team call-ups for the World Cup on Monday (18). Before that, the coach will watch Flamengo’s match against Athletico-PR in person at Arena da Baixada.

Flamengo’s match against Athletico-PR will be the last game Ancelotti will watch directly from the stadium. The match is scheduled for Sunday (17) at Arena da Baixada, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Who will Ancelotti evaluate in the Flamengo vs Athletico-PR match?

Currently, one of the names giving Ancelotti the biggest headache is Pedro. That’s because, despite never having been called up by the Italian, Flamengo’s number 9 still has a great chance of making the final Brazil squad.

What are Pedro’s numbers in recent matches?

Pedro has found the net nine times in Flamengo’s last 17 matches this season. In addition, Gávea’s number 9 has provided two assists for his teammates. In other words, the player is in great form this season.

Could other Flamengo players appear on the Brazil national team list?

Yes! One player who is already guaranteed is Danilo. In addition, Lucas Paquetá, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are also highly rated to be on Ancelotti’s final list. Finally, Samuel Lino and Léo Ortiz are outsiders but still dream of earning a spot.
