Ancelotti spots difference between Pedro and Endrick before Brazil game | OneFootball

Ancelotti outlined Brazil’s starting lineup against India with Pedro in attack

Brazil’s national team is preparing to play its final friendly of this FIFA window, which will be against India this Saturday (03). Before the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on Pedro, Flamengo’s striker, and Endrick. In his remarks, the Italian manager praised the players’ qualities and highlighted that the red-and-black No. 9 brings a wealth of experience.

Pedro was given an opportunity right in Ancelotti’s first call-up, already with an eye on the cycle for the 2030 World Cup. It is worth noting that in the final squad for this year’s World Cup, Flamengo’s No. 9 appeared as one of the favorites to represent the ‘Seleção’ in the United States, but ended up being left out.

What is Pedro’s situation in Flamengo’s recent matches?

During this FIFA window, Pedro is part of Brazil’s entire planning. In the first match against Australia, the player came on for a few minutes. In the second game against the Australians, however, he stayed on the bench.

For the match against India, Ancelotti gave signs that he will give Pedro an opportunity. That is because, in training this Friday (02), the manager sketched Brazil’s starting lineup with Flamengo’s No. 9 in attack.

ARE THERE MORE FLAMENGO PLAYERS IN BRAZIL’S NATIONAL TEAM?

Yes! Besides Pedro, Samuel Lino is another Flamengo representative in Brazil’s national team. However, the winger is expected to start the match as a bench option. Finally, it is worth stressing that as soon as Brazil’s friendly ends, the red-and-black duo will return to Brazil and, with that, will play for Mengão in the match against Santos on Thursday (08), in the Brasileirão.
