Ancelotti tweaks: Brazil's plan for 2 days before the Haiti clash | OneFootball

Brazil National Team steps up work at the Columbia Park training center before traveling to Philadelphia

The Brazil National Team remains in a crucial stage of preparation for its second match in the 2026 World Cup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is overseeing the final two adjustments before the clash against Haiti, valid for the second round of Group C.

This Wednesday (17), the team will hold a training session at 12 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Columbia Park training center in New Jersey, with the first 15 minutes open to the press. Later, at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Danilo, a Flamengo player, will speak to reporters in a press conference.

On Thursday (18), the work routine continues, with training at 11:30 a.m. (Brasília time) at the Columbia Park training center (also with 15 minutes of media access). In the evening, at 7:45 p.m. (Brasília time), coach Carlo Ancelotti and a player yet to be defined will hold a press conference at Philadelphia Stadium.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH AGAINST HAITI?

Brazil faces Haiti this Friday (19), looking for its first win in the World Cup. The match, part of the second round of Group C, is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia (USA).

In search of a sixth world title, the national team is trying to end a 24-year drought without lifting the trophy. It is worth remembering that, in the opener against Morocco, the team drew 1-1, with a goal from Vinicius Júnior.

Haiti, meanwhile, is playing in its second World Cup. Now, it is looking to bounce back after being beaten 1-0 by Scotland in the opening round.

HOW DID BRAZIL’S OPENER GO AND WHAT IS THE SQUAD SITUATION?

In the 1-1 draw against Morocco, coach Carlo Ancelotti made changes to the team, starting with Roger Ibañez and Douglas Santos at full-back and Igor Thiago leading the attack. During the match, Fabinho, Danilo, Matheus Cunha, Luiz Henrique and Danilo Santos were also brought on.

So far, the Italian coach has not confirmed which lineup he will use for this Friday’s (19) clash. Therefore, the final two training sessions will be decisive for the coach’s decision.
