Ancelotti enjoys Carnival in Salvador, hears calls to recall Neymar | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti joined the festivities and made an appearance at the Salvador Carnival this Friday. Among the attractions was singer Léo Santana, who interacted with the coach of the Brazilian National Team and requested the call-up of Neymar.

“For us, it is an honor to have you at our carnival. Having you bring all your experience and maturity to our Brazilian National Team. Thank you very much for being here. It’s worth believing that the sixth title will come under Ancelotti's command,” said Léo Santana.

“Oh, one detail, Ancelotti. Put Neymar in this Brazilian National Team, for God's sake. I couldn't miss this,” the singer added.

Besides Léo, singer Bell Marques also sent a message to the coach: “Ancelotti, a hug! Good luck with the National Team that's coming up. It depends on you, right?”.

Ancelotti landed in Salvador late in the morning and went straight to a hotel, which is also on the Carnival circuit. The Italian coach is in a reserved area within a sponsor's VIP box. From the balcony of the space, he watches the electric trios passing by on the street.
