Ancelotti shares surprise reason for Alex Sandro, Danilo Brazil call-up | OneFootball

Alex Sandro and Danilo were the only Flamengo players on the Brazilian National Team list

The Brazilian National Team was called up this Monday (03) for the FIFA Date friendlies in November against Senegal and Tunisia. Among the names selected, Alex Sandro and Danilo, both from Flamengo, were listed. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti explained the reason for calling up the rubro-negros and praised the quality of the defenders.

— Two different things: Alex Sandro, I believe that, when he is well, has shown that he plays very well. He is an experienced full-back, has personality. When he is at a good physical level, he is one of the best full-backs available — began Carlo Ancelotti, this Monday (03).

— Danilo is different. I see him as the only Brazilian defender who can cover all four positions. He can play as a right-back, left-back, and in both center-back positions. What I like about him is his experience and leadership — concluded the coach of the Brazilian National Team.

HOW ARE ALEX SANDRO AND DANILO DOING?

Alex Sandro has vast experience both with the Brazilian National Team and in national and international football. The experienced defender played for years at Porto (POR) and Juventus (ITA), as well as having played in the World Cup under coach Tite.

On the other hand, Danilo is not much different. The Flamengo defender has played for Porto, Real Madrid (ESP), and Manchester City (ENG), and also played in the World Cup as a starter. In addition, the player can perform different roles in the defensive system.

WHEN ARE THE MATCHES?

Thus, the Brazilian National Team faces Senegal on November 15, at Emirates Stadium, in London. Next, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti will face Tunisia, in Lille, on the 18th of the same month.
