His league performances have also convinced Brazil’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, to firmly focus on the Giallorossi’s number 43 for tomorrow’s friendly against France in Boston.

In the pre-match press conference, Ancelotti answered a few questions about the lineup that will take to the field in the United States, confirming the Giallorossi’s presence in the starting eleven.

Ancelotti’s comments, as reported by ESPN, read: “Basically, you want to know who’s playing tomorrow (laughs)… I have a doubt about the defense, to be honest. Léo Pereira, Wesley, and Douglas Santos will play.”
