“I’m sorry.” That’s how Brazil national team coach Carlo Ancelotti began the press conference after announcing the World Cup squad. The manager showed sympathy for all the players who were on the radar but were left out of the final list, including Pedro of Flamengo.

— I’m sorry that others are not here, such as Bento, for example, Hugo Souza. I’m sorry, it makes me a little sad, but they will have, like other young players who are not on the list, such as Andrey Santos and João Pedro, the chance to be part of the project for the next World Cup — said Ancelotti, without mentioning Pedro by name.

— It wasn’t easy, it was difficult, because the competition was very high. We evaluated more than 60 players, and each one has the characteristics to be here. Pressure, no. Difficult, yes. Thinking a lot and trying to make the right decision — Ancelotti added on Monday (18).
