Santos present Carlo Ancelotti and Rodrigo Caetano with shirts at 2-2 Mirassol draw | OneFootball

Santos presented shirts to Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti and CBF men’s teams coordinator Rodrigo Caetano at José Maria de Campos Maia, where they watched a 2-2 draw with Mirassol in the Brasileirão’s fifth round on Tuesday 10.

According to Diario Do Peixe, football director Alexandre Mattos handled the presentation. Ancelotti had planned to see Neymar Jr in person, but the forward was rested for load management, and later addressed on social media his choices and the debate over not attending.

The Seleção staff will continue their monitoring this weekend. Assistants Mino Fulco and Franchesco Mauri, Bruno Baquete and goalkeeping coach Taffarel are due at Sunday’s clássico with Corinthians, 16:00 at Vila Belmiro, in round six.

Brazil will release a squad on Monday 16. Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão has been on a pre-list and Corinthians’ Hugo Souza has already been called. A strong display from Santos’ number one could put him on the staff’s radar, and Neymar Jr should feature and is on the pre-list.

Monday’s call-up will be the Italian’s last before his official World Cup list. It targets friendlies in the United States, against France on 26 at 18:00 in Foxborough, then Croatia on 31 in Orlando. After those, the final squad will face Egypt at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on 16 June.
