Little by little, Carlo Ancelotti is adapting to the Brazilian National Team. The coach is experiencing his second FIFA date and is trying to get the team back on the path to glory. Forward Gabriel Martinelli revealed that the Italian has been making demands during training sessions.
Ancelotti’s main “scolding” concerns the players’ attitude. The coach asks the squad to give more of themselves on the pitch.
“Everyone has to give their all. Ancelotti demands a lot of attitude from us, to give our maximum on the field. That’s what we’ve been trying to do. Everyone knows we have quality, and if we can put in that extra effort, we’ll be able to play our best football,” said the Arsenal player.
Ancelotti is also trying to fit in more and more with the group. The idea is to create a healthier environment. For Martinelli, this attitude is positive.
“He’s a guy who always tries to communicate with us, always tries to be close during the initiation pranks to help with bonding as well. He’s a great coach. We’re very proud to see someone like him working with us. It’s a privilege and an honor to be with him. He demands a lot of attitude and for us to give our best on the field,” he concluded.
The Brazilian National Team is preparing for the last round of the South American Qualifiers. Ancelotti’s team will face Bolivia next Tuesday, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in El Alto.
Already qualified for the next World Cup, the Seleção comes from a 3-0 victory over Chile and is in second place in the standings, with 28 points.
