Ancelotti to change Brazil line-up after criticism against Morocco | OneFootball

What possible changes could Ancelotti make to Brazil’s next lineup?

The Brazilian National Team drew 1-1 with Morocco this Saturday (13) in its World Cup opener. Ancelotti, Brazil’s coach, was unhappy with the result and is considering making changes for the team’s next World Cup match.

Ancelotti was not pleased with the criticism he received after the draw with Morocco, especially during the press conference. Brazil’s coach even snapped at some of the journalists who were present at the stadium.

For this reason, according to ESPN, Ancelotti will speak with his assistants to assess the possibility of making a change for the match against Haiti. The game is scheduled for 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Friday (19).

What change could Ancelotti make to Brazil’s lineup?

One of the changes Ancelotti is considering is at center forward. In the match against Morocco, the Italian coach preferred to start Igor Thiago, leaving Endrick and Matheus Cunha on the bench.

Matheus Cunha did take part in the match, coming on in the second half. However, the young Endrick remained on the bench and left some Brazilian fans furious, since many wanted the Real Madrid (ESP) player on the field.

Could another change happen in Brazil’s next lineup?

Yes! Another possibility is the inclusion of Danilo, from Flamengo, in Brazil’s starting lineup. That is because the full-back made a very positive impact against Morocco, pleasing both the coach and Brazilian fans.

In the match against Morocco, Ancelotti preferred to use Ibañez in the starting lineup, even though he plays as a center-back for Al Ahli (SAU). Danilo, therefore, only came on in the second half, when the Italian coach decided to field a more attacking team.

How many training sessions will Ancelotti have to decide on the starting team?

Ancelotti will have four training sessions to define Brazil’s next lineup. That is because the match against Haiti will be on Friday (19), starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, SporTV on pay TV, and CazéTV on YouTube.
