Wesley gave a press conference this Thursday (04), ahead of the friendly against Egypt on Saturday (06). As a result, the former Flamengo player revealed a special request from Ancelotti for Brazil’s national team matches.
— He’s asking me to be myself. There isn’t much tactics involved. He puts me there because he knows what I can do there. It’s one of my traits — he said, before concluding:
— So yesterday in training I was out wide there, I wasn’t tracking back, I was playing in a more attacking role, and that’s it, there’s not much more to it. He puts me up front and tells me to believe, to go and be happy — he added.
At the moment, Carlo Ancelotti sees Wesley, formerly of Flamengo, as a starter for the Brazil National Team. The player took part in Brazil’s latest training sessions among the starting eleven and is expected to keep his place for the clash with Egypt on Saturday (06).
Brazil’s match against Egypt is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (06), in the United States. As mentioned, this will be the Brazil National Team’s last match before their World Cup debut, which will take place on June 13 against Morocco.
